Fuel Storage Solutions for the Oil, Gas and Energy Industry
Operating in the Oil, Gas and Energy sector? Fuel is still one of your biggest overheads.
Australia’s oil and gas extraction industry has a gross value of more than $130 billion. LNG exports now total more than $92 billion. With some projects shipping more than 16 million tonnes per annum, fuel costs are likely to continue to make up a significant portion of overheads for oil, gas and energy operators into the future.
Getting your heavy machinery working efficiently on site starts with the right fuel storage systems.
Fuel Supply, Storage and Security
FUEL SUPPLY
Quality fuel supply on site and on demand.
(24 hrs / 7 days / 365 year)
FUEL STORAGE
Safe storage of fuel and hydrocarbons in challenging locations.Mobile drag and drop Installation with plug and play commissioning. Fast and Simple
FUEL SECURUTY
Robust tank construction with live fuel management monitoring ensuring 24/7 security access
Fuel Supply Challenges for Oil and Gas Operations
Whether you’re operating oil rigs, running refineries or extracting and transporting coal seam gas, the fuel you use to power your machinery is critical.
New common rail diesel engines are achieving ever better efficiency and performance but they also need better quality fuel.
Downtime for machine maintenance can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. That’s without factoring in potential damage caused by contaminated fuel.
Should contaminated fuel cause damage, it could slow down or even shut down some of your major operations for weeks. That’s why it’s essential to treat your fuel as the huge investment it is.
The Logistics of Fuel in Remote Areas
Ensuring fuel supply where you need it, even in hard-to-reach places, can be a logistical nightmare when you’re operating remote oil, gas and energy operations.
Even after considering the costs of transporting fuel – either by road freight or by sea – ensuring you can create an accessible supply that meets your changing project needs is a constant balancing act. Investing in earthworks, bunding and site preparation for traditional storage depots means as project needs change, vehicles may need to travel some distance to refuel at significant cost to efficiency and your project’s bottom line.
There are human resources considerations too – when you’re covering large distances and have fuel stored at one or two sites, sending somebody out to read fuel levels and monitor usage can be a significant task.
Fuel Quality and Fuel Contamination - The Risks
Sourcing quality fuel is always a challenge when you’re working in isolated areas, but it’s critical to keep your machinery operating in top condition and prevent costly outages. When you’re delivering critical oil, gas and energy supplies, reliability can’t be sacrificed.
Diesel fuel contaminants can cause serious problems for your fleet and machinery. This can affect affect engine components such as:
- clogged intake valves
- premature wear and tear on engine components
- reduced airflow
- reduced engine power and performance
That can impact service delivery and have far-reaching effects on your projects or your communities. Therefore, the best way to ensure a diesel engine’s optimum performance is to ensure a clean and reliable fuel supply.
Contaminated Fuel
Operational issues caused by contaminated fuel:
- Poor starting or failure to start
- Reduced availability of operational equipment
- Poor or rough idle, reducing efficiency
- Increased consumption
- Excessive smoke and emissions
