Turbine Technology Services provides a variety of mobile, temporary and distributed power solutions for remote locations such as Bakken, Niobrara, Eagle Ford and Permian.

1. HOW TO REDUCE
OIL AND GAS
EXPLORATION
COSTS WITH
PORTABLE POWER

2. Exploration areas in the unconventional
oil and gas industry are often in remote
regions, such as:
• Bakken
• Niobrara
• Parts of Eagle Ford
• Parts of Permian
These remote areas lack the infrastructure
of roads, communication lines and, most
importantly, electricity to support the logistics
of such operations.

3. In most of these locations, utility companies
or cooperative (co-op) electric companies
provide what power is available to the
existing infrastructure.
Unfortunately for the existing utility providers,
supply of power and transmission and
distribution (T&D) cannot keep up with
the rapid growth and demand for power.

4. THE COMMON,
BUT INEFFICIENT,
QUICK SOLUTION
Renting or Buying Individual
Load Supply Generators

5. Because many remote area fields are
developed quickly, available power
generation equipment must be obtained
on short notice.
Renting or buying individual load supply
generators tend to be the quick solution.
These units are highly localized and provide
the necessary power to feed specific loads,
such as:
• Pump Jacks
• Submersible Pumps
• Well Pads
However, these generators can be
expensive to procure, maintain and fuel.

• Fracking Operation

6. Today, when the unconventional oil and gas industry is
awash with competition and the price or product is at
an all-time low, it is critical to lower operation costs
through cost-effective power generation solutions.

7. THE SUPERIOR,
COST-EFFECTIVE
SOLUTION
Working with Power
Generation Experts

8. Determining the Most Cost Effective
Way to Provide Power in the Fields:
• Unconventional oil and gas companies often
lack the resources and technical expertise.
• Local utilities and co-ops are limited in their
generation capacity and T&D network.
• The best solution, both short-term and
long-term, is to utilize power generation
companies with expertise in providing
power systems for any situation.

9. Power generation experts help deliver
the best solution for your total power
requirements and needs, based on
your provided information of:
• Determined Total Load of Your Field
• Determined Total Area of Your Field
• Identified Available Fuel Source

10. Fuel Options and Opportunities:
• In most instances, there is an abundant fuel
supply in your field, a product or byproduct
of exploration.
• In areas where natural gas is harvested
and transported, an existing fuel supply
pipeline is available to provide fuel to
local generation.
• In cases where gas is untreated,
unharvested and/or being flared,
state-of-the-art gas treatment technology
is available to make this gas suitable
to burn in utility type generators.

PROVEN
TECHNOLOGY
Installing Portable and Mobile
Gas Turbine Generators

12. With portable and mobile gas turbine
generators, the load of an entire field
or section can be powered utilizing
your wellhead or pipeline gas as the
fuel source.
A local T&D system can be erected, temporarily
or permanently, and energized by the gas
turbine generators.
When this local grid is established, it can be
powered indefinitely by the gas turbines or,
eventually, back fed by the local utility once the
high voltage transmission system is established
in the area.

13. In most cases, the cost per kilowatt is
significantly lower than traditional diesel
generators and competitive compared to
the price for power from a local utility over
a longer period.
Payment options for localized gas turbine
power systems can accommodate the best
option for your project, including:
• Purchasing
• Leasing
• Contracting

14. New technologies that attempt to answer
the power generation dilemma include:
• Dual Fuel Gas or Diesel Generators
• Micro-Turbines
• Battery/Diesel/Solar Hybrid Generators
• And More
However, portable and mobile gas turbines
remain the time-tested, reliable solution.

15. The use of gas turbine engines for power
generation is now responsible for over 30
percent of the electricity being produced
in the United States.
This is standard industrial gas turbine
technology, which has proven upward
of 98 percent availability on natural gas,
base-loaded application for decades.
Small to mid-sized gas turbines are ideal
for this application and have logged millions
of operating hours of electrical generation.

16. Gas turbine generators can:
• Help solve your electrical power
generation needs
• Provide a solution to your flare gas problem
• Operate within air quality requirements
in your area

Because of the mobility of generator and
switchgear equipment and the use of low
voltage cabling, portable power systems can
be quickly erected, dismantled and remobilized.
