Aggreko Provides Emergency Power to a Gulf Rig
The challenge for the customer
Technical problems with on-board generators in this Gulf of
Mexico based rig meant emergency shut-down. Restoring power
was essential to maintain production and all support services.
Aggreko’s solution
Aggreko provided eight 800kW 480V generators delivered and
installed on the rig in less than two days. Within a further
48 hours power was fully restored and the situation back to
normal.
The benefits to the customer
The speed of Aggreko’s response minimised lost production and
disruption. Although the firm used Aggreko as an emergency
solution to start with, the hire arrangement was cost efficient for
them. As a result the contract was converted to a long term
lease. In the words of our customer: “This was our first
experience with Aggreko. They performed so well, we won’t hesitate
to use them again. We are very impressed.”
