The Challenge
Power for a pipeline inspection and maintenance services team in remote European locations
Our customer is a world leading oil services company which offers a pipeline inspection and maintenance service to their customers.
In Europe their fully equipped team travels from location to location from April until October each year, with most projects situated in remote locations. Using their own air compressors, they purge the pipeline to clean and maintain them.
Power is needed to get the air compressors up and running. They typically use their own diesel power generation equipment or subcontract to a power provider. After approaching Aggreko in France for a diesel fuelled solution our team quoted this but suggested they consider using gas generators instead that could be engineered to run on available onsite pipeline gas.
Our customer mobilises their people and equipment from central points, whereas their competition is based locally. Their local competitors have a lower cost base, and quick mobilisation turnaround.
With local competition increasing our customer is always looking for ways to reduce their cost base to remain competitive and maintain local market share and were open to our suggestion of using onsite gas instead.
