REDUCING CO2 EMISSIONS FROM OILFIELD DIESEL ENGINES
摘要
A method of reducing CO2 emission from a wellsite diesel engine includes the steps of: providing the wellsite diesel engine operatively coupled to a wellsite apparatus for transmission of power from the wellsite diesel engine to the wellsite apparatus; and injecting at least one component of natural gas into the wellsite diesel engine, thereby combusting the natural gas component in the wellsite diesel engine. A system for supplying power to a wellsite apparatus includes a wellsite diesel engine operatively coupled to the wellsite apparatus for transmission of power to the wellsite apparatus; a diesel fuel supply; a natural gas component fuel supply which supplies at least one component of natural gas; and each of the diesel and natural gas component fuel supplies being connected to the wellsite diesel engine for combustion therein of a mixture of diesel fuel and the natural gas component.
