Pharos Energy, a UK-based International oil company, wanted to reduce gas flaring, diesel consumption and provide cooking gas to communities in Egypt’s Western Desert.

The site in question contained 11 oil wells and considerable distance between them – around 1.5km. Another aspect to be taken into consideration is that the power plant that currently provided the energy for the site is within an agricultural area – so the need to cut both diesel and flaring would no doubt help protect the local area.

This was a task of many requirements and Pharos Energy needed an experienced partner with many decades of industry knowledge, including specific technical capability in dealing and treating Associated Petroleum Gas (APG) from production wells and repurposing it for use as a power generation fuel.

After initial design consultations, our engineers devised a plan that could deliver on all fronts.

Our mobile, modular equipment is ideal for logistical and site obstacles. Helping the customer switch from diesel to gas, we installed three of our gas QSK60 generators, combined with a transformer, to power the site efficiently.

We took care of the 1.5km gap between sites with our safety-approved, highly durable cabling and there were four technicians posted to the successful delivery of our solution – two for the day and two through the night.

By using our QSK60 generators, we could reduce the fuel burn that the customer’s current setup had. And we successfully reduced the flare gas volume, by using it as a fuel source.
