HOUSTON, Feb. 17
-- Peru LNG has awarded a long-term service and maintenance contract to Wood Group GTS, a unit of John Wood Group PLC. The value of the contract is $150 million over 18 years, Wood Group said.

Wood Group GTS will provide a service and maintenance program to maximize machine availability of the gas turbines, compressors, and generators at Peru LNG’s Pampa Melchorita site south of Lima.

The agreement covers two GE Frame 7 (7EA DLN-1) gas turbine-driven compressor trains for the LNG process and three GE LM2500 + DLE aero-derivative gas-turbine power generator sets.

Wood Group GTS will implement remote monitoring and diagnostics, supply of spare parts, component repair, inventory management, field service, and maintenance management to maximize machine availability over the 18-year term.

Since 2007, Wood Group Production Services has supported Peru LNG by supplying specialized and technical personnel to Compania Operadora de LNG del Peru, the operating company of Peru LNG. COLP has been responsible for building the LNG plant and gas supply pipeline and will be responsible for plant and pipeline operation and support.
