Be it building bridges, constructing roads or lighting cities and villages, energy in its various forms makes millions of lives better. No wonder then, that energy supply is crucial for the growth of any country, more so for India that is witnessing rapid urbanization and a steady increase in its population. It is therefore imperative for us to ensure energy security, particularly in the oil and gas sector as that’s where most of India’s energy comes from. It is here that GE steps in.
Being a leader in advanced technology equipment and services across all segments of the oil and gas sector, GE is well-equipped to aid India in meeting its energy requirements.
GE Oil & Gas
Drilling Solutions: The onshore drilling and production segment includes oil and gas wells in all types of climates and operating conditions. GE provides proven systems and products ranging from low-pressure applications right up to 30,000 psi completions. Offshore drilling and production pertains to facilities that operate under the water surface. They include fixed platforms, jack-up drilling rigs and floating drilling rigs among others.
For both, onshore and offshore segments, the company provides an array of drilling and production systems.
Offshore Solutions: Given that more and more oil and gas production is coming from offshore resources, the company has semi-submersible platforms and floating units that optimize production and efficiency.
Subsea Production: As offshore drilling moves deeper and deeper into the sea, the challenges, with regards to temperature and pressure, keep mounting. For 40 years now, GE has been manufacturing equipment that caters to subsea production and has over 1,000 systems installed globally.
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Solutions: Carbon dioxide occurs in large quantities in the atmosphere as part of greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) separates the gas from other components. It can then be used as a chemical or industrial feedstock, a solvent, agent for enhanced oil recovery or stored in underground geological formations. GE’s compressors increase efficiencies and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Unconventional Resources: GE believes in the potential of unconventional resources like oil and gas and has come up with innovative solutions that address demand and supply side issues. They are dedicated to promoting natural gas as a reliable and clean source of energy that can be used in the power and heavy industry sectors.
Full Range LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) Solutions: An LNG receiving terminal is the arrival point for LNG tankers in a gas utilization region.
The ships’ cargo of liquefied natural gas is unloaded and stored in its liquid state, then re-gasified and fed to the natural gas pipeline system as required by market demand. GE Oil & Gas customizes all its LNG equipment for the best fit with each project’s specific requirements.
Industrial Power Generation: The company provides turnkey power-generation modules and support services for every sector of the oil and gas industry, as well as for solar and geothermal applications.
Refinery & Petrochemicals: Refineries convert crude oil into a variety of valuable fuels and lubricants. New plant designs and upgrades to existing ones focus on performance requirements and also environmental regulations. GE Oil & Gas has expertise in all areas needed to enhance production as well as environmental performance.
Gas Storage Plant and Pipeline Integrity Services: Once natural gas reaches the market, it needs to be stored for future use. Compression requirements vary depending on the purpose and type of storage facilities. With extensive experience covering both centrifugal and reciprocating technologies, GE Oil & Gas provides a broad range of solutions for gas storage applications.
PII Pipeline Solutions, a GE Oil & Gas and Al Shaheen joint venture, provides precision tools to detect cracks, corrosion or damage to pipelines as well as innovative data analysis techniques.
