Disappointed with the Turkish Karpowership, NOVATEK turned its attention to the Chinese Harbin Guanghan Gas Turbine

NOVATEK Planned to Order a Floating Gas Reciprocating Power Plant to Supply Arctic LNG-2 from the Turkish Karpowership. But then NOVATEK abandoned the Turkish option. According to Mr. Mikhelson, negotiations with the Turkish company stopped because Karpowership "changed the conditions for providing the power plant every month."
NOVATEK needs turbines for the LNG process. American Baker Hughes refused to supply contracted LM9000 gas turbines. Baker Hughes was to supply three lines of « Arctic LNG-2» about 20 LM9000 turbines with a capacity of up to 75 MW, but only four were shipped.
may become Chinese Harbin Guanghan Gas Turbine Co. Ltd. NOVATEK has found turbines in China to power the lines of the Arctic LNG-2 LNG project under construction, a number of Kommersant's interlocutors say. On the market. This is most likely a modification of the GT-25000 machine with a unit capacity of about 25 MW, produced in Harbin, China at the site of Harbin Guanghan Gas Turbine Co. Ltd. One CGT25-D CSIC turbine is already in operation at the Yamal LNG booster compressor station.
The GT-25000 turbine is another (along with the AGT-110) example of localization by Chinese companies of the developments of the Ukrainian Zorya-Mashproekt plant. 1980s, explains independent expert Yuri Melnikov. Initially, the turbine, according to him, was intended for Soviet warships, but in China they were able not only to use it for its intended purpose, but also to repurpose it for stationary use. “Of course, it cannot be compared with machines from Siemens and Baker Hughes — it seems that we are talking about the first commercial samples,»,— the expert thinks.
