Dual-fuel Engines For Oil and Gas
Switching to Natural Gas or Dual Fuel Engines for Your OperationsDual-fuel Engines
In today’s rapidly changing business and social environment, the oil and gas industry must adapt to a new reality for hydraulic fracturing operations. The push for producer/operators and service companies to adopt greener oilfield operations has intensified significantly promoting ESG momentum and financial motivators to stimulate greener e-frac or dual-fuel engines operation. Many of the largest investment funds are increasingly and staunchly focused on environmental conservation, and they will invest only in like-minded companies. This base of investors expects oilfield players to accomplish environmental, social, and governance (ESG) progress at a much quicker pace, which places a greater impetus on reducing emissions, fuel consumption, and overall carbon footprint.
On top of the environmental benefits of using much cleaner natural gas vs diesel, dual-fuel engines fleet had the potential to help significantly reduce the cost of its operations. The dual-fuel engines solution not only reduces producers’ diesel consumption, but it also offers a more cost-effective use of their readily available natural-gas reserves. Compared to piping natural gas to a collection point and selling it at a low margin, or flaring the gas in locations lacking an economically feasible transport option, using reservoir gas to supplement a frac fleet’s fuel supply can potentially provide significant cost benefits.
Dual-fuel Engines
Typically expected at 50% plus substitution rate the amount of diesel that can be replaced by natural gas varies, depending on a combination of several factors. These factors include the overall build quality and EPA emissions rating of the engine, the efficiency of the dual-fuel intake system, the ratios of methane and other components in the natural-gas supply, the pressure of the natural gas being introduced into the fuel mix, and the load under which the engine is operating. Additionally, the technical competency of the on-site personnel, including fuel-management expertise, plays an important role in reducing diesel combustion.
