Diesel generators are useful in almost every industry, from facilities management and construction to mining and data centers, but they especially vital in the oil and gas industry. The generator sets are critical to providing electrical power for numerous purposes, ensuring the efficiency and safety of operations and daily living.
The Role of Diesel Generators in the Oil and Gas Industry
- Everyday electrical power: In remote locations on land and at sea, generator sets provide power to every appliance as required, from computers and facility systems to cooking equipment, lighting systems and more.
- Digging and drilling: As in the mining industry, large and small-scale digging and drilling equipment requires a reliable and sufficient power supply in order to operate. Any downtime means significant losses and setbacks for these operations, so a diesel generator provides effective risk management.
- Seamless operation: Using a power generator means that each part of the oil and gas operation is fully functional, from drilling to pumping to delivery of the final product and is therefore critical to maintaining good client relations.
- Backup power: In the event of a natural disaster or emergency, it is critical that oil and gas operations continue without interruption. In fact, in many parts of the world, it is required by law that even gas stations have backup generators to ensure no fuel shortages or chaos in the event of a natural disaster.
- Safety: Oil and gas operations need extensive risk management to ensure that employees and the environment is effectively protected from safety risks. Many of these systems in place rely on electrical power that power generators supply, including alarm systems, access control systems, and more.
In order to function properly in an operation of this type, power generators need to be:
- Durable: Offering low maintenance and low risk of downtime with minimal and affordable maintenance.
- Cost-effective: The power generator should be fuel-efficient to save costs. Thanks to the latest technology, CAT diesel generators for the oil and gas industry provide high-efficiency power, running at 45 degrees.
- Advanced: CAT CG generators, wellhead generator sets, and KVT engine offers the only compression engine with the capabilities these operations demand.
- Seamlessly integrated: There are no one-size-fits-all electrical power solutions for the oil and gas industry – each system needs to be fully-customized and implemented by experienced design specialists and engineers. In addition, these operations need extensive, accessible support like that offered by CAT experts in more than 100 locations around Australia.
