We offers solutions, products and services for every phase of oil and gas exploration, production, transportation, storage and refining – both onshore and offshore.
On remote fields, large engines can be used both to supply electrical power for oil and gas exploration and production or to drive mechanical equipment involved in the long and short distance piping of gas e.g. pumps and compressors. A special advantage is fuel flexibility: Our diesel engines can run readily on crude oil taken direct from wells and conditioned on site while our gas engines reliably ignite well-head gas.
Classification of Generator Sets for Oil & Gas Fields, it can be classified into the following two categories based on the type of driving power:
1. Engine Generator Sets:
1) Further divided into three categories by fuel type for the internal combustion engine:
■ Liquid-fuel generator sets, mainly including Diesel generator sets and Crude oil generator sets.
■ Gas Engine generator sets, primarily Natural gas generator sets. Fuels include conventional natural gas (mainly Gasfield gas and associated oilfield gas) and unconventional natural gas (such as coalbed methane and shale gas, etc.).
■ Dual-fuel generator sets, mainly Natural gas dual-fuel generator sets. Fuels: Natural gas and diesel.
2) Divided into two categories by application location:
■ Stationary generator sets, i.e., onshore oil & gas field generator sets, including open-frame generator sets and containerized generator sets. Fuels: diesel, crude oil and natural gas.
■ Marine generator sets, i.e., Offshore oil & gas field generator sets. They are widely used on offshore oil & gas drilling platforms, power barges, etc. Relevant classification society certificates of various types can be supplied upon customer request. Fuels: diesel, crude oil, natural gas and dual fuel.
3) Classification by internal combustion engine speed:
■ High speed engine generator sets, refer to generator sets with engine speed n > 1000 r/min. They are small-bore, four-stroke generator sets, generally with single set capacity below 3 MW. Features: compact size, light weight, flexible and rapid start-stop, low capital cost. Fuels: Diesel and natural gas.
■ Medium speed engine generator sets, refer to generator sets with engine speed between 300 < n ≤ 1000 r/min. They are medium-bore, four-stroke generator sets with single set capacity of over 20 MW. Features: long service life, low heat rate, suitable for long-term continuous operation. Fuels: Natural gas or crude oil.
2. Turbine Generator Sets:
Gas turbine generator sets are classified into two types by installation location:
■ Stationary gas turbine generator sets, i.e., Onshore oilfield generator sets that supply electric power for onshore oilfields. They consist of open-frame gas turbine generator sets and containerized gas turbine generating sets. Fuel: natural gas and diesel.
■ Marine gas turbine generator sets, i.e., Offshore oilfield generator sets, mainly used on offshore gas platforms and vessels. They include Open-frame and enclosed gas turbine generator sets. Fuel: natural gas.
