Caterpillar Oil & Gas showcases ESG-focused solutions at Offshore Technology Conference 2021

HOUSTON – For nearly a century, Caterpillar has been working with customers to solve big problems—innovating, integrating, and tailoring solutions that help build a better world. Today’s Environmental, Safety, and Governance (ESG) requirements are no exception. At this year’s Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), Caterpillar Oil & Gas will showcase ESG-focused products and solutions with Solar Turbines and the newest addition to the family of Caterpillar companies, SPM Oil & Gas which was acquired this February. Conference attendees can speak with representatives to learn about products and solutions that help operators power electrification, provide hybrid flexibility, and lower their carbon footprint and costs through fuel flexibility.

Developing solutions that benefit customers but also promote the health of our environment remains one of Caterpillar’s commitments. Products such as the award-winning Cat® 3512E DGB™ Tier 4 Final engine benefit operators by providing increased performance with 85% diesel displacement, a factory-installed dual fuel solution, and overall lower owning and operating costs. This game-changing engine is the first U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final dual fuel certified engine and is designed to supply customers with the industry’s latest technological advancements by keeping displacement high and emissions low.

The new Cat G3520 Non-Road mobile gas genset (NRM) provides even more ways for customers to optimize their operation and lower fuel consumption and emissions. With a rated power of 2.5 eMW, this gas genset is designed to minimize ESG footprint by lowering NOx and CO2e, decrease flared gas, and reduce fuel costs.

By integrating conventional and low-carbon power solutions such as the Cat Power Grid Stabilization (PGS), customers can maximize power output efficiently and flexibly. The Cat PGS Module is a scalable, rapidly deployable energy storage system with a heavy-duty battery structure. The PGS integrates with solar and other renewable sources to provide short-duration power when the renewable source is not available or virtual spinning reserve to optimize generator sets efficiency.

Caterpillar will be discussing oil & gas related products and solutions at Booth #1541 alongside with SPM Oil & Gas and Solar Turbines.

“At Solar, we continue to innovate and bring sustainable solutions to the industry. A great example is the SMT60, our 5MW block of mobile scalable power, which responds to the oilfield need for mobility, quick set up, and teardown. Powered by our industry leading Taurus 60 gas turbine, the SMT60 operates on a wide variety of fuels including field gas which would otherwise be flared.

We continue to invest in digital capabilities with the Solar InSight Platform, providing an ecosystem of services, which can extend the life of our customer’s turbomachinery to maximize profitability and  performance while improving the standards for efficiency, safety, and regulatory compliance,” says Kenneth Rumsey, Oil & Gas Marketing Manager at Solar Turbines.

“SPM Oil & Gas remains intensely focused on helping oil and gas companies deliver the energy that powers communities and the economy while reducing costs and environmental impacts,” stated Paul Coppinger, President of SPM Oil &Gas, A Caterpillar Company. “As a part of Caterpillar, we are uniquely positioned to provide optimized and customized end-to-end solutions from the engine to the wellhead. As one of the only companies with natural gas or electric-powered 5,000-HP pumps operating in the field, we are actively providing technologies that reduce emissions while promoting efficiency gains for positive operations and bottom-line impact.”
