General Electric Company GE recently announced that it secured a deal for fast and flexible power from Masila Petroleum Exploration and Production Company (PetroMasila). PetroMasila is a Yemeni state-owned company that explores and produces oil in Yemen.
Per the deal, General Electric will supply a trailer-mounted GE TM2500 aero-derivative gas turbine, also called a “power plant on wheels.” It will be positioned at Block 14 in the Hadramout region. The gas turbine unit will be able to supply electricity of a maximum of 34 megawatts (MW) at the site’s conditions.
It will be fueled by previously flared associated gas to support PetroMasila’s oil exploration and extraction processes — generating power from extra gas. When connected to the local grid, more than 50% of the electricity produced from the unit at Block 14 will be supplied to the grid. This will cater to the power requirement of the Yemeni homes that presently don’t have access to electricity.
This deal will aid PetroMasila to achieve its power generation goals by using previously flared associated gas and end the use of diesel, which is a higher emitting and costly fuel. General Electric’s remote monitoring and diagnostic system will also ensure seamless operations.

The power plant on wheels is likely to begin commercial operation in 2023. In 2022, three TM2500 gas turbines were also installed at Block 10 in the East Shabwa region of Yemen, replacing diesel generators.

Zacks Names “Single Best Pick to Double”
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.
