Baker Hughes has confirmed a significant order for its ICL units from Dubai Petroleum Establishment (DPE), on behalf of Dubai Supply Authority (DUSUP).
Booked in the third quarter of 2024, the order aims to bolster the reliability of energy supply in Dubai while also supporting the region’s decarbonisation efforts.
The order comprises ten ICL units, with five designated for gas storage and the remaining five for dual-use injection boosting or gas export to the existing gas distribution system.
These units will be installed at the Margham Gas storage facility in Dubai to augment its capacity with the adoption of ICL technology, leading to a “highly” reliable system with reduced emissions.
The project is also expected to enhance the stability of Dubai’s energy supply by improving the capability of the system to alternate between natural gas and solar power.
Baker Hughes executive vice-president of industrial & energy technology Ganesh Ramaswamy said: “Our innovative ICL technology is set to be critical to support the gas infrastructure needed to address Dubai’s increasing expansion of renewables into its energy mix.
“This landmark order underscores the proven track record we have built in the market for our low-carbon solutions.”
Since 2020, DPE has collaborated with Baker Hughes to implement ICL units, which have demonstrated zero seal leakages and minimal maintenance downtime.
This latest award from DPE also adds to the positive momentum for Baker Hughes’ ICL technology, following similar orders for projects in Italy, Germany, Argentina and the US.
Last month, Baker Hughes launched CarbonEdge, a digital solution aimed at optimising carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) operations.
The end-to-end, risk-based platform, powered by Cordant, supports regulatory reporting and operational risk management by offering real-time data and alerts for CO₂ flows across CCUS infrastructure.
