American Electric Power (AEP) has contracted Worley for engineering, detailed design, and procurement support for Stages 3-4 of the 450MW Northeastern U5/6 Simple Cycle Gas Turbine project in Oklahoma, US.
This project is located at the Public Service Company of Oklahoma's Northeastern Generation Facility.
The scope involves the engineering and detailed design for a new natural gas-fired power facility. The project site will feature two gas turbines.
Worley will execute the project under its existing Master Services Agreement with AEP.
The project will be led from Worley’s office in Reading, Pennsylvania, with additional support from the company’s Louisiana and Houston offices, as well as from its Global Integrated Delivery (GID) team.

Worley CEO Chris Ashton said: “Worley is pleased to deliver this important project for AEP, building on our track record supporting customers in power generation.
“We’ve delivered over 400 gas turbine projects globally, with power-related projects a strategic focus as we expand into more complex critical infrastructure.”
