Kingsly Adapts To Motor-Driven Compression Trend: Sophisticated mentoring is key to failure detection

摘要

Historically, gas-driven engines were the norm for compressors used in natural gas extraction. With sometimes spotty access to electrical grids in rural areas, it was easy for operators to power their gas engines with natural gas from the pipelines. However, for economic, environmental and control reasons, there's been a shift toward using electric-driven motors in the last five or six years. The wellhead price of gas has made it more profitable for the producer to sell his gas rather than use some of it for operations.
