American Power Group Inc. (APG) has received $500,000 in follow-on orders from three of its oil and gas company clients for the conversion of additional drilling rigs' diesel engines to use APG's Turbocharged Natural Gas dual-fuel system.
‘At a time when global diesel prices continue to escalate, the ability for oil rig operators to use our dual-fuel technology with either inexpensive well-head gas or plentiful domestic natural gas as a supplemental fuel provides a significant competitive advantage over operators running on 100 percent diesel fuel,’ says Lyle Jensen, CEO of American Power Group.
The company says more than 20 oil and gas exploration companies in the U.S. are using Turbocharged Natural Gas, which is also applicable to heavy-duty diesel engines used in transportation applications.
