How to Reduce Oil and Gas Exploration Costs with Portable Power

HOW TO REDUCE

OIL AND GAS

EXPLORATION

COSTS WITH

PORTABLE POWER

Exploration areas in the unconventional

oil and gas industry are often in remote

regions, such as:

• Bakken

• Niobrara

• Parts of Eagle Ford

• Parts of Permian

These remote areas lack the infrastructure

of roads, communication lines and, most

importantly, electricity to support the logistics

of such operations.

How to Reduce Oil and Gas Exploration Costs with Portable Power

In most of these locations, utility companies

or cooperative (co-op) electric companies

provide what power is available to the

existing infrastructure.

Unfortunately for the existing utility providers,

supply of power and transmission and

distribution (T&D) cannot keep up with

the rapid growth and demand for power.


THE COMMON,

BUT INEFFICIENT,

QUICK SOLUTION

Renting or Buying Individual Load Supply Generators

Because many remote area fields are

developed quickly, available power

generation equipment must be obtained

on short notice.

Renting or buying individual load supply

generators tend to be the quick solution.

These units are highly localized and provide

the necessary power to feed specific loads,

such as:

• Pump Jacks

• Submersible Pumps

• Well Pads

However, these generators can be

expensive to procure, maintain and fuel.


The Common, But Inefficient, Quick Solution

• Drilling Operations

• Fracking Operation

Today, when the unconventional oil and gas industry is

awash with competition and the price or product is at

an all-time low, it is critical to lower operation costs

through cost-effective power generation solutions.

COST-EFFECTIVE

SOLUTION

Working with Power Generation Experts

Determining the Most Cost Effective

Way to Provide Power in the Fields:

• Unconventional oil and gas companies often

lack the resources and technical expertise.

• Local utilities and co-ops are limited in their

generation capacity and T&D network.

• The best solution, both short-term and

long-term, is to utilize power generation

companies with expertise in providing

power systems for any situation.


The Superior, Cost-Effective Solution

Power generation experts help deliver

the best solution for your total power

requirements and needs, based on

your provided information of:

• Determined Total Load of Your Field

• Determined Total Area of Your Field

• Identified Available Fuel Source



Fuel Options and Opportunities:

• In most instances, there is an abundant fuel

supply in your field, a product or byproduct

of exploration.

• In areas where natural gas is harvested

and transported, an existing fuel supply

pipeline is available to provide fuel to

local generation.

• In cases where gas is untreated,

unharvested and/or being flared,

state-of-the-art gas treatment technology

is available to make this gas suitable

to burn in utility type generators.

Installing Portable and Mobile Gas Turbine Generators

With portable and mobile gas turbine

generators, the load of an entire field

or section can be powered utilizing

your wellhead or pipeline gas as the

fuel source.

A local T&D system can be erected, temporarily

or permanently, and energized by the gas

turbine generators.

When this local grid is established, it can be

powered indefinitely by the gas turbines or,

eventually, back fed by the local utility once the

high voltage transmission system is established

in the area.


Power Generation and Distribution Systems with Proven Technology

In most cases, the cost per kilowatt is

significantly lower than traditional diesel

generators and competitive compared to

the price for power from a local utility over

a longer period.

Payment options for localized gas turbine

power systems can accommodate the best

option for your project, including:

• Purchasing

• Leasing

• Contracting



New technologies that attempt to answer

the power generation dilemma include:

• Dual Fuel Gas or Diesel Generators

• Micro-Turbines

• Battery/Diesel/Solar Hybrid Generators

• And More

However, portable and mobile gas turbines

remain the time-tested, reliable solution.



The use of gas turbine engines for power

generation is now responsible for over 30

percent of the electricity being produced

in the United States.

This is standard industrial gas turbine

technology, which has proven upward

of 98 percent availability on natural gas,

base-loaded application for decades.

Small to mid-sized gas turbines are ideal

for this application and have logged millions

of operating hours of electrical generation.

Gas turbine generators can:

• Help solve your electrical power

generation needs

• Provide a solution to your flare gas problem

• Operate within air quality requirements

in your area



Below is an example of a complete

and efficient portable power system:



Because of the mobility of generator and

switchgear equipment and the use of low

voltage cabling, portable power systems can

be quickly erected, dismantled and remobilized.
