Rolls-Royce has won a $175 million contract to supply Asia Gas Pipeline LLP (AGP) with equipment and related services to power the flow of natural gas through Kazakhstan’s Line C Gas Pipeline, part of the vast 1,833km long Central Asia-China Gas Pipeline network.

Rolls-Royce will supply AGP, a joint venture between Kazakhstan's KazMunaiGaz and China's National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), with twelve RB211 gas turbine driven pipeline compressor units which will operate at four compressor stations along the 1,115km Line C Pipeline.

Beimbet Shayakhmetov, AGP, General Director, said: “The AGP Pipeline will help to meet Kazakhstan’s domestic energy needs and to stabilise China’s energy consumption with cleaner natural gas. Given the huge scale and tight construction schedule of this project we need on-time delivery of reliable and efficient technology. Rolls-Royce proven technology provides an excellent fit and we are delighted to again cooperate with them to support us in transportation of the gas.”
