Why Propane Is Vital To Oil & Gas
Propane is ideal for oil and gas operations because it is stable and reliable and can be stored indefinitely at remote and rugged locations. In addition, it functions well in extreme weather, a significant feature for oil sites in the remote regions of Northern Alberta and Saskatchewan. At CanGas, we understand the benefits that propane can bring to the oil and gas industry, and we believe in building strong partnerships to allow us to bring those benefits to you. We take care of our clients, offering automated delivery, local supply, and attentive care.
Propane Powered Oil and Gas Applications
Learn more about the advantages of propane.
- Power Generation
Propane is a reliable fuel source that functions optimally in all weather conditions and in any remote location, making it ideal for powering oil and gas related equipment, including pumps, compressors, flaring assistance burners, and more.
- Well-Site Production
Utilizing propane can up the ‘green’ factor of your well-site as well as improve the overall efficiency of your well-site production. Propane is useful in powering drilling rigs, well testing equipment, and, in some cases, waterless fracking processes. Propane generators can power electric motors or equipment that has been converted to run on propane.
- Water Heating
Propane-powered water heaters are used in the kitchens and homes of worker’s residences as well as in essential well-site operations. Propane-powered water heaters are efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible.
- Building Heat
At any given time, there could be thousands of workers living at an oil and gas camp, and propane is just as essential for them as it is for the on-site operations. Propane furnaces, boilers, and heaters provide heat to residencies as well as other on-site buildings.
- Vehicles
Light and medium-duty fleet vehicles can easily be converted to run on auto propane. Converting your fleet saves money over time as propane is a more affordable fuel source. Propane-powered vehicles are also better for the environment than diesel and gasoline.
