FUEL REDUCTION

Fueling oilfield innovation. And using less fuel to do it.

EXPLORE

Improving production while reducing costs and carbon.

In the same spirit as our forward-thinking customers, NexTier is driven to make the oil field leaner and greener. Reducing fuel consumption at the wellsite – which also reduces machinery, maintenance and associated traffic in and out of the field – is one of the best opportunities to help achieve those goals.

Fuel additives

Whether you’re running an all-diesel fleet or a dual-fuel setup, our fuel additives provide an easy, cost-effective way to boost diesel’s bang for the buck. In addition to cleaning the engine to deliver better performance, they condition the diesel itself – both of which help convert more fuel to kinetic energy.

Mixed with the diesel supply at the wellsite, our fuel additives achieve:

More efficient and complete fuel combustion
A longer power cycle during every engine stroke
Between 8 and 12% lower fuel consumption*
Reduced CO2e emissions by 8 to 12%*
Up to 50% lower particulate-matter emissions

Hibernate™ warm-start system

Why keep frac pumps running between stages? Our Hibernate warm-start system gives us the power to turn off pump engines when they’re not needed. Then, when the next stage is ready, a single crew member can remotely restart multiple pump engines from the data van. Compatible with both full-diesel and dual-fuel fleets, it makes your frac sites cleaner, quieter, safer and more efficient – and it’s only from NexTier.

By eliminating nonproductive engine idling with the Hibernate system, we can accomplish a lot of good at the wellsite:

Reduce fuel usage and related emissions
Decrease equipment wear and required maintenance
Reduce crew members’ exposure to heavy machinery
Remove excess noise to improve on-site safety and communication

Put to the test in West Texas.

Compared side by side in a diesel-powered fleet, Hibernate-equipped pumps far outperformed pumps operating using traditional methods.

Ongoing ESG benefits:
- Less personnel exposure to heavy machinery
- Reduced fuel consumption
- Less noise and associated on-site distractions
- Fewer emissions and improved air quality
Projected for 300 days’ use per year for a fleet of 18 trucks:
- $1.29 million fuel savings
- $1.52 million combined fuel and maintenance savings
Actual performance over 62 days of field tests:
- Reduced engine idling approximately 54%
- Reduced total engine hours 32%
