BEIJING, Jan 22 (AFP): US-based General Electric has won an 196-million-US dollar bid to help build China's West-East Gas Pipeline, state media said Sunday.
GE's oil and gas division signed an agreement with the West-East Gas Pipeline Company this week under which GE will provide gas turbines, compressors, installation and testing services to 12 newly-built compressor stations along the pipeline, the Xinhua news agency said.
The equipment includes 20 sets of gas-turbine power units and 24 PCL800 compressors, it said, citing sources with the pipeline company's parent company, China Petroleum Material and Equipment Corporation.
