An alliance between vendors and the operating company substantially reduced the cost for installing a compression platform in the British Petroleum-operated Cleeton field, in the southern gas basin of the UK North Sea. According to Dresser-Rand the original budget for the compression facility was $60.9 million, and the alliance decreased this to $51.8 million, a savings of 15%. This cost was also substantially less than the almost $200 million estimates made in the late 1980s for this type of facility. Installed on the platform was a Dresser-Rand 463B compressor with an ABB GT35 gas-turbine driver and gear.
