For the oil and gas industry Wrtsil provides solutions with an outstanding lifecycle value, fulfilling the most stringent safety and reliability criteria in the world. WHERE THERE IS OIL AND GAS THERE IS WRTSIL The choice of fuel is an important factor when evaluating the reliability, availability and lifecycle cost of power production for oil and gas production and transportation. Traditionally the lifting of the crude was used as a benchmark. Today, the concept of intrinsic value of the fuel has become the determining factor. Whatever fuel is chosen, the Wrtsil power solution can always be switched over to another fuel depending on availability, fluctuating prices or changes in environmental regulations. When fuel supply is insecure or prices are volatile, a gas-diesel or dual-fuel solution will provide total flexibility.

FROM WELLHEAD TO REFINERY FEED A TOTAL SOLUTION WITH GUARANTEED RELIABILITY


Deciding what is the optimum power technology and equipment for any upstream oil and gas operation is a demanding task. What are the extreme ambient conditions? Which fuel is available? What is the load profile? The basic parameters are known today, but they could change during detailed engineering or construction, and certainly just after commissioning! Over the lifetime of an oil field the power demand, crude oil quality and quantity, gas quality and quantity and even the operation and maintenance regime will change. On top of that, the economic impact is huge. Early production is highly valued and downtime is out of the question. Coupled with the strict health and safety regulations and environmental concerns, the choice of prime movers for the power production system has become a key issue for success. Wrtsil has developed a portfolio of prime movers that places top priority on fuel flexibility and environmental compliance. Coupled with conservative loading, strict quality control and a worldwide factory-controlled service organization, a Wrtsil power solution is always a safe choice.

WRTSIL ENGINE TECHNOLOGY


A reciprocating engine is the most efficient way of converting liquid or gaseous fuels into power. Wrtsil has introduced a wide portfolio of reciprocating engines with modern combustion technology and with a broad range of fuelling options resulting in high shaft efficiency up to 47%. The range covers both gas- and oil-fuelled prime movers with outputs from 1000 kW up to 17 MW. Reliability, high efficiency, environmental friendliness and total economy are the key drivers for Wrtsils activities in the oil and gas industry. This is why Wrtsil has more than 3000 MW in the oil and gas arena, in operation onshore and offshore, all around the globe. WRTSIL 20 POWERSKID Wrtsil packages diesel generating sets as skid-mounted units in the range from 1000 to 1600 kW. We are specialized in customizing power units to fit the special demands and harsh environment of applications in the oil and gas industry. Skid-mounted units are manufactured and designed to meet the strictest quality demands. All units are factory tested before delivery. If the heart fails, nothing works. Man or machine, you rely on it. So be sure that the power pack is powered by Wrtsil. WRTSIL DIESEL ENGINES Besides diesel oil, Wrtsil diesel engines can also run on crude and heavy fuel oils with a viscosity up to 2000 cSt @ 50 C and a sulphur content up to 5%. Wrtsil engines are based on the experience of demanding applications in the power generation, offshore and marine industries. Wrtsil made its first major impact on the power industry with the launch of the heavy-oil-fuelled Wrtsil 32 cm bore engine in the 1970s. Since that time, our customers have purchased more than 6000 of these 32 cm bore engines globally. In a world of increasing fuel prices, a diesel engine designed to use heavy residual fuel or crude oil is the obvious choice. This has convincingly

been demonstrated in the power generation and shipping industry, where steam turbines were the dominant power source before the oil crisis. The Wrtsil crude burning engines tolerate loads down to 20% of rated power; no switching over to diesel oil is necessary at low loads. The crude burning engine can be started and stopped on crude oil no diesel fuel is required other than as back-up fuel.

WRTSIL SPARK-IGNITED GAS ENGINES Wrtsil SG engines are spark-ignited gas engines built on the sturdy frame of a diesel engine. Gaseous fuel is mixed into the combustion air and into the pre-chamber at a pressure of 5 bar. A spark plug in the prechamber is used to ignite the gas. SG engines have a shaft efficiency up to 46% and the largest SG engine Wrtsil produces today has a unit power of 9000 kW (12,000 hp). WRTSIL DUAL-FUEL ENGINES To generate reliable power from fuel off the well is a demanding task. For this purpose

Wrtsil has developed two different dual-fuel concepts: the DF (dual-fuel) and the GD (gas diesel) engines. In the DF engines the gaseous fuel is mixed into the combustion air before it enters the combustion chamber. The ignition is accomplished by injecting a small amount of liquid fuel (crude or diesel oil) as pilot fuel. The DF engine can operate in both 100% fuel oil mode and in 99% gas / ~1% fuel oil mode with optimum performance. The DF concept is mainly used in applications where pipeline quality gas with a high methane number is available.

The switch between liquid fuel mode and natural gas mode takes place seamlessly and without interruption to power production. OPERATION ON BOTH ASSOCIATED GAS AND CRUDE OIL In the gas-diesel (GD) engine the gaseous fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber at a pressure of 350 bar. Pilot fuel oil (5%) is needed to ignite the main combustion. The GD engine can run in either 95% gas / 3% liquid fuel mode or in 100% liquid fuel mode, as well as any other gas-to-liquid fuel ratio in between.
