The Simplest Fully Integrated System for 100% Gas-Powered Operations is in the works

 

Having an efficient and effective power system for your oilfield operations shouldn’t be complicated.

And it isn’t with the new Caterpillar Gas Mechanical System (GMS). This integrated power solution is built on our 3,600 horsepower Cat® G3500 engine and TH55 transmission platforms to deliver optimum mechanical efficiency for your pressure pumping operations. The GMS utilizes 100% natural gas, offering a low-cost-fuel solution that reduces carbon footprint. Plus, its scalable design requires fewer trailers on-site, increases the power density per trailer, and decreases fuel consumption compared to alternative frac operation methods.

Caterpillar is bringing innovation to completions unlike any other with a reliable and durable solution. With the GMS, there’s no stopping you from entering this next era of completions prepared for whatever tomorrow brings.

 

 

A New Reality for Completions is in Development

GET READY FOR AN INDUSTRY-CHANGING SITE SOLUTION.

 

This innovative, fully integrated power system streamlines the completions site and then some. It helps optimize performance for pressure pumping applications by:

  • Increasing power density per trailer allows operators to increase flow rates and efficiencies on site. Field testing has shown production rates up to 13 barrels per minute and over 20 pumping hours per day.
  • Minimizing maintenance requirements with fewer components and simpler combustion technology. Its traditional and scalable trailer architecture is easily deployed with existing personnel skills.
  • Utilizing a wide range of fuel-qualities to lower operating costs.
  • Increasing the trailer's efficiency to enable more than a 10% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to other next-generation technology.
  • Seamlessly integrating with SPM™ and other existing frac pumps for a total site solution, providing durability and reliability for near continuous duty operations.
