The C1000 Power Packages together will provide 3MW of clean and green prime power to central processing facilities and metering stations at remote well sites in the Eagle Ford Shale play.

The microturbines, fueled by pipeline quality gas, will produce electricity to provide all power to the onsite equipment, including heaters, pump motors, circulation pumps and distribution panels.

Capstone distributor Pumps & Service secured the order for the C1000 turbines.

Pumps & Service vice president of sales and marketing Bryan Hensley said that Capstone turbines can operate completely off the grid and use high pressure natural gas from the pipeline as fuel, which makes oil and gas sites self-sufficient.
