Powering a plant with its own natural gas
Client: HESS
Location: Williston Basin, North Dakota, USA
Sectors: Oil and Gas
The Challenge
A system fueled by the site’s own natural gas
Our engineering team worked closely with the site operators to identify, quantify and isolate the problem in the motor control center.
Additionally, our engineering team designed an ingenious system that provided 100% redundancy, producing 98.5% uptime while still reducing the flaring.
Our solution captured some of the natural gas that would have been flared and used it to fuel the generators that ran the site.

The Solution
A system fueled by the site’s own natural gas
Our engineering team worked closely with the site operators to identify, quantify and isolate the problem in the motor control center.

Our solution captured some of the natural gas that would have been flared and used it to fuel the generators that ran the site.
The Impact
Emission standards were met with significant reduction in fuel costs
We were the only vendors that could implement the project using several smaller Tier 4 generators, and all our diesel-fuelled generators meet EPA standards for reducing diesel particulate matter and nitrogen oxide (NOx). We set the operators up with a reliable system that allowed the customer to control the pumps remotely and make significant cost savings. The extra monitoring from our Louisiana control room gave the customer peace of mind that the pumping facility was always in good working condition.
