Description (excerpt):

Power generation in upstream oil and gas (O&G), traditionally led by diesel generator sets (gensets), is transitioning to new energy sources, methods, and business models. While the arguments for diesel—including broad fuel availability and ease of transport and storage—have not changed, technological advances, regulations, and macroeconomics are expanding the options available to exploration and production (E&P) companies. At the same time, new business models are emerging that cut costs, boost efficiency, or otherwise improve operations in this energy-intensive industry
