Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. (MHI) has established a specialized Oil & Gas Division within Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America Inc. (MHIA). Located in Houston, Texas, USA, MHI’s Oil & Gas Division will focus on identifying, developing, and leading business opportunities for turbomachinery and engineered solutions including growth areas such as floating production, LNG, plant modularization, CO2 enhanced oil recovery, gas processing, and petrochemicals. According to MHI, the goal is to provide combined functions for various products handled by MHIA, such as compressors and gas turbines, providing one-stop solutions to the upstream, LNG, and downstream markets.
