(Energy Analytics Institute, Piero Stewart, 20.Feb.2020) — In order to generate its own electricity, the PetroMonagas joint venture incorporated use of an electric turbo generator (TG2) at its upgrader at the José Antonio Anzoátegui Industrial Complex located in the northern part of Anzoátegui state.
With incorporation of the generator, the partners in the joint venture — state oil company Petróleos de Venezuela, SA (PDVSA) and Russian company Rosneft — aim to increase operational reliability and optimize safety levels of the plant, PDVSA announced in an official statement.
The TG2 will allow for generation of up to 18 megawatts of electricity for internal consumption at the upgrader.
