Extract Once they find the oil and gas, customers use Caterpillar power to get it to the surface
from miles below, efficiently and reliably. Engines and generator sets for every kind of production
facility and platform, on land and sea, every place our customers drill, worldwide. Power for injecting,
gathering and moving natural gas. Pressure power for on- and off shore well stimulation. And once
beyond the well head, power for moving oil and gas through the pipeline.
