PIPELINE OF
INNOVATION Competitive and
environmental challenges in the oil and gas
industry are driving energy producers to seek
better efficiency, reliability and environmental
protection. Tackling these complex challenges
takes leadership, teamwork and innovation.
The GE Oil & Gas team in Aberdeen, Scotland,
is leading many of our technology and service
solutions for the sector.
Innovations in recent years have included
next-generation valves with improved nano-
coatings for increased safety and reliability;
pipe inspection technology; and other
advances that enable oil and gas companies
to produce the energy the world needs more
safely, reliably and cost-effectively.

LEADERSHIP IN
WIND POWER The world needs
clean, renewable energy, and wind power
is a big part of the answer. GE wind
turbines, among the most widely used
in the world, will soon power the largest
wind farm in the U.S. The Shepherds
Flat project in Oregon, developed by
Caithness Energy, will get its power from
338 advanced GE 2.5xl ecomagination-
qualified wind turbines, which deliver
greater efficiency, reliability and grid
connectivity. The Shepherds Flat turbines
will produce enough clean energy
to power about 235,000 households.
