The Challenge

Oil and gas exploration without grid power

For this remote North Dakota oil & gas processing plant, the prospect of getting utilities from the grid was still years away. To make matters worse, the plant was struggling to keep emissions from flaring within state regulations - and one of its motor control centres had a harmonic issue. Finding the reliable, year-round power source they badly needed was going to be tricky, but Aggreko and our team of experts were up to the challenge.
