Under the contract, MAN will continue to service 20 gas turbines and compressors on four platforms located in the Atlantic Ocean’s Campos Basin. Based on an embedded engineer concept, Petrobras has entrusted MAN with the servicing of these turbomachines since 2002. Robin von Plettenberg, Senior Vice President and Head of MAN PrimeServ Turbo at MAN Diesel & Turbo, says, “We enable our customers to focus on their core business – while we provide necessary technology and ensure that it is efficiently available throughout the entire service life.” An aspect that is of special importance for equipment running in harsh and remote surroundings, such as offshore platforms.

We offer the ideal solution for this.” With a population of around 255 million, a growth rate of almost 5% and a growing demand for energy, Indonesia is the largest economic area in Southeast Asia and the world’s largest island state.
