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: generator rental power
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.”
