Different types of generators have different benefits and detractions, but with all factors taken into account, diesel generators undeniably provide the most reliable, predictable, and most functional way of powering your oil and gas project. Here are five considerations.
1. Reliability:
As long as you ensure that you procure your generator from a trusted vendor and you keep to the recommended weekly tests, diesel generators provide reliability on a level and scale that is unparalleled. Diesel generators are used across the world, and in many applications where companies have serious economic costs associated with an unplanned power outage. As such, diesel generators are used everywhere from tourist resorts to hospitals, and are perfectly suited for oil and gas projects.
2. Predictability:
Diesel generators use fuel at a predictable rate, whatever the context. Unplanned costs can send a well-budgeted project into the red, and for a project manager, diesel generator's predictability allows for crucial budgeting on fuel and expenditure costs – critical for those who aim to keep their project on budget.
3. Transportability:
At Depco, we provide easily transportable units, which allow for mobility as well as cutting down on associated transport costs. This is particularly helpful when the project plan changes, demanding a reorganization of the site's layout, or even more drastic, a total move to a new location.
4. Size of project:
Moreover, diesel generators come in many shapes and sizes, meaning that through thoughtful planning and consultation, we will be able to find the right generator that suits the size of your project, factoring in any unexpected project growth. Projects should never be limited by power concerns, and ensuring that you have an accurate supply is crucial.
5. Availability of repair & maintenance:
If, however, the worst does occur, and you find yourself in need of repair and maintenance, fear not: parts for diesel generators are easily procured. Making sure you buy your generator from a trusted seller such as Depco will mean that any needed parts are only a phone call away.
