Capstone Turbine Corporation, a producer of low-emission microturbine systems, has secured an order for 22 C65 microturbines for independent oil and natural gas companies.
This latest order is the second such follow-on order to the first 18 unit C65 order received back in August. All three orders are for Capstone C65 natural gas product and together total 64 units in 9 months from this new oil and gas customer. Capstone's local distributor Pumps & Service sold the units and will provide installation, commissioning and long term service support.
Pumps & Service has received 20 MW of new orders over the past ten months from three major oil and gas companies exploring large shale reserves or plays in the US. Customer adoption of Capstone microturbines in the oil and gas sector continues to expand in the US The US shale gas market is expected to grow substantially, especially since the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Air Act has strict requirements for emissions levels at natural gas sites.
