Now we go with it onto the ocean, hundred of miles out, thousands of feet down. For drilling, well servicing, pumping or production, Cat engines are the industry's prime movers. In ratings from 85 to 20,000 hp (63-14,920 kW), they come with a long record of performance and reliability. Each engine is backed by the Cat dealer network with 1,200 worldwide locations — always close by when the going gets tough. It's easy to see why Cat engines are at work in more petroleum applications than any other brand.

Engine power for efficient pumping systems

Oil production is booming worldwide. Cat engines power pump packages known for around-the-clock reliability in crude transfer, seawater lift or reinjection and process applications. Cat drivers offer the industry's widest power range - 85 to 10,860 hp (63 to 8100 kW)and a broad selection of fuels: pipeline or wellhead gas, distillate diesel, crude oil or heavy fuel.
Diesel - and gaseous-fueled engines are the pump prime movers of choice in thousands of applications around the world. Reciprocating engines have substantial advantages including low capital costs, high fuel efficiency, and simple maintenance and overhauls to keep life-cycle costs down. Cat engines also offer:

• High mechanical efficiency - up to 48%.
  
• High efficiency at variable operating speeds.
  
• Simple start-up and operation.
  
• High tolerance for fuel of variable quality.

Caterpillar and the Cat dealer network can supply the engines you need - plus design support to build complete pump packages. It all adds up to long-term performance you can trust.
