Termo Rubiales

completed

The project consists of the design, construction, operation, maintenance and transfer of a fuel-oil fired thermal plant of 43 MW availability guarantee power generation facility (with a gross capacity of approximately 64 MW) that will be located in Campo Rubiales (Department of Meta, Colombia), 465 Km distant from Bogota. The facility will be developed in two (2) phases, Phase I consists of 5 Pielstick Engine generator sets with a total output of at least 22.5 MW and Phase II consists of implementation of an additional output of at least 20.5 MW with some redundancy engine generators for the availability guarantee. The plant will supply the energy needs of a pumping station for the new oil export pipeline and the current needs of the existing oilfield facilities.The project sponsor is Energy International Corporation an EPC firm specialized in the power sector. Rubiales is one of the largest oilfields in Colombia and is operated by Meta Petroleum under a concession that extends until 2016. The fuel for the power plant will be supplied by Meta Petroleum and is sourced from the oil produced in Rubiales.Termo Rubiales has a mixed role as a supplier (for energy supply) and contractor. For the purpose of this document Termo Rubiales is defined as a contractor since the plant is physically located in the operation area and is managed through the Meta Petroleum E&S management system for supervision, EHS reporting, waste management and EHS monitoring.
