Natural-Gas Generator Sets for Oilfields
Gas generator packages for associated gas, wellhead gas and treated fuel gas, with public reference power bands from 10 to 1500 kW and custom paralleling above 500 kW.
Power bands and package inputs
Reference fields for quotation comparison. Final values must be confirmed in the signed manufacturer datasheet.
| Parameter | Reference value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Published power portfolio | 10-1500 kW | Final output depends on gas and site derating |
| Listed selection bands | 80-500 kW plus 500 kW and above | Large packages may use synchronized custom sets |
| Reference ambient design | 500 kW package radiator at 50 degrees C inlet air | Example only; require a project heat balance |
| Fuel-system scope | Filtration, regulation and safety shutoff | Attach a current gas composition |
Product overview
Oilfield fuel-gas duty
Natural-gas generator sets can turn treated wellhead or associated gas into prime, standby or parallel electrical power. Public product information reviewed for this page describes a 10-1500 kW portfolio and navigation bands of 80-100, 200-250, 250-300, 400-500 and above 500 kW. Generator sizing still begins with a site load list, motor-starting study and duty definition rather than the largest nameplate rating.
Gas quality determines the package
Send the gas analysis with methane, heavier hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulfide, moisture and heating value, plus minimum and maximum supply pressure. Gas filtration, pressure regulation, shutoff valves and fuel controls must suit that composition. A 500 kW reference package describes a split radiator designed around 50 degrees C inlet air, which is useful as a design example but not a universal ambient rating.
Electrical and control scope
State voltage, frequency, phase, power factor and prime or standby duty. Parallel projects need the number of units, synchronizing philosophy, island operation, black start, load sharing, remote communications and protection interface. Heat-recovery requests should define usable water temperature and thermal duty separately from electrical output.
RFQ checklist
Provide ambient temperature, altitude, dust, noise limit, hazardous-area boundary, enclosure, emissions jurisdiction and installation layout. Ask each bidder for derating curves, fuel-consumption data, heat balance, single-line diagram, control description, dimensions and test scope. Certification claims remain subject to document and model verification before purchase.
Technical reference trail
These public references support the equipment family and selection context. They do not imply dealership, authorization or a guaranteed order specification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can untreated associated gas feed the generator directly?
Not by assumption. Provide gas composition, pressure, liquids, H2S and heating value so treatment and engine compatibility can be evaluated.
What is needed for parallel generator operation?
State unit count, bus voltage, synchronizing, load sharing, island mode, black start, protection and remote-control requirements.
Does 1500 kW apply at every site?
No. Published portfolio ratings require confirmation against gas quality, ambient temperature, altitude, duty and emissions settings.
