HIGH CAPACITY IN A SMALL FOOTPRINT Like many oil & gas operators, Petronas is constantly seeking ways to minimize size and weight of its offshore faciliUes. The compact footprint and high power density of the Flex turbine is ideal to meeUng these objecUves. “To date we are very happy with the performance and reliability of the FlexEnergy turbine” Ahmad Zaki bin Abd Kadir, Snr.
