A 40 MW base load power plant has been delivered to the Eden-Yuturi oil field development site in Eastern Ecuador. The plant is owned and operated by Occidental Petroleum Inc. and located on Block 15 in the Ecuador Oriente
jungle at the Napo River.
Power was needed for both the drilling sites, the production wells, the central processing facility and for the export pipeline boosting pumps for the 70,000 bpd
field.
Today the Wärtsilä power plant supplies power to these facilities via a medium voltage 13.8 kV grid. The power plant was built in two phases. Phase 1 was
delivered 2002 and comprises four Wärtsilä 18V32LN generating sets running on crude oil, each producing 6.3 MW. Phase 2 was delivered 2004 and comprises three Wärtsilä 18V34SG generating sets running on associated gas coming from the CPF, each producing nominally 5.1 MW.
In addition to the generating sets, Wärtsilä also delivered MV-switchgears, control systems, fuel and cooling systems and other auxiliaries. Commercial operation for phase 1 started in December 2002 and in June 2005 for phase 2.
