Gas and Natural Gas

Drilling operations with modern electric rigs depend on their power modules 24/7. Tough environmental conditions, constant equipment mobilization, and fuel costs represent a constant challenge for drilling operators worldwide. Cat electric-drive drilling modules for modern electric rigs are designed specifically to meet the operational demands of drilling customers. They are designed for simplified integration into rigs, rugged base and cooling systems, and are optimized to provide the right power while minimizing fuel costs. Dual fuel options take fuel saving to the next level by providing customers a factory solution to blend diesel and gaseous fuels.

Cat engines have been the driving force behind the majority of the world's drilling rigs for years. Cat mechanical drilling engines feature proven reliability and durability, the right power for each application, easy servicing, and low owning and operating costs. Cat land mechanical drilling engines offer a wide range of power for direct-drive equipment from mud pumps to power for the entire drilling operation.

Oil and gas production requires the highest equipment uptime with the lowest operating cost. The Caterpillar product line of land production generator sets is designed around those principles. Every product is designed to withstand the harsh conditions encountered in the oilfield, including oversized generators, cooling systems capable of operation in high ambient temperatures, and rugged package configurations for durability in loading, transportation, and unloading operations.Production operations also rely on low owning and operating costs to be successful. Cat generator sets for land production offer low operating cost and the highest fuel flexibility because they can run on diesel, gas, or both fuels to provide the power needed on site.Caterpillar product line of oilfield gas generator sets provides the lowest fuel cost. Engines are designed to run on low to no-cost well site gas without sacrificing on performance. These generator sets allow customers to significantly reduce fuel cost and avoid the expense and logistics of diesel fuel deliveries.Cat 3500 generator sets with Dynamic Gas Blending offer low operating cost with high application flexibility by displacing diesel with low cost gas when it is available. They can fulfill up to 70% of their fuel needs using gas or they can run on diesel-only mode when gas is not available. Most importantly, diesel performance is maintained and the transition between gas and diesel modes is seamless to the operator.

Cat generator sets are widely known for performance, reliability, durability, and fuel flexibility in the offshore oil and gas industry. With ratings capable of operating on MDO, LFO, HFO, crude oil, and dual fuel, offshore products include generator sets for main,essential, and emergency power. The global Cat dealer network covers offshore operations with warranty, parts, service, and technical support any time, anywhere.
