On May 20, 2020, GENLITEC POWER delivered 23 sets of GPC150S5 silent diesel generator sets to a well-known drilling company in Egypt. The generator sets were supplied for the customer's drilling campsites in Alexandria and Cairo, providing dependable power for remote and demanding drilling operations.

Before placing the order, four staff members and managers from the customer visited the GENLITEC POWER factory to inspect the company's production facilities and carefully review the generator sets and their configurations. Following the factory visit, the customer expressed confidence in GENLITEC POWER's products and decided to order 23 GPC150S5 units.

Egypt's hot and predominantly dry climate can create demanding operating conditions for power-generation equipment. High temperatures, dry air and dust are common considerations, particularly for equipment working at outdoor drilling camps. Reliable standby and prime power is therefore essential for maintaining drilling equipment, site facilities, lighting and other electrical loads.

Project Overview

The 23 GPC150S5 diesel generator sets were supplied to support the drilling company's campsites in Alexandria and Cairo. Drilling operations often take place in locations where access to stable utility electricity may be limited, making independent power generation an important part of the site's infrastructure.

The customer is one of the leading drilling contractors in Egypt and the wider MENA region. The company operates approximately 70 drilling rigs, including jack-ups, offshore platform rigs and onshore rigs, and has a workforce of more than 5,000 employees. Its large-scale drilling operations require reliable power solutions that can support different types of work sites and operating environments.

Customer Requirement

For drilling camps, the customer required reliable diesel generator sets capable of providing stable electricity for daily camp operations and drilling-related electrical loads. The generator sets also needed to be suitable for outdoor operating conditions and practical for use at different drilling locations.

The main requirements included:

○ Reliable diesel power for drilling camps

○ 50Hz, 127/220V three-phase power supply

○ Soundproof enclosure for controlled operating noise

○ Reliable operation under hot, dry and dusty environmental conditions

○ Consistent power supply for drilling camp facilities and equipment

Generator Configuration

The GPC150S5 generator sets were configured with a Cummins diesel engine, GENLITEC alternator and SmartGen controller to provide dependable power for the customer's drilling camps.

Reliable Power for Drilling Camps

Drilling camps typically require electricity for a wide range of applications, including drilling equipment, site offices, accommodation facilities, lighting, water systems, communications equipment and other essential electrical loads. A reliable generator set helps keep these facilities operating when grid power is unavailable or insufficient.

The Cummins 6BTAA5.9-G12 diesel engine provides a proven power source for demanding applications, while the GENLITEC S274G120 alternator is matched to the generator set to deliver stable electrical output. The soundproof configuration also helps reduce operating noise around drilling camp facilities.

Customer Factory Visit and Cooperation

Before placing the order, four representatives from the drilling company visited the GENLITEC POWER factory. During the visit, they inspected the company's manufacturing facilities, production processes and generator set configurations in detail.

The factory visit gave the customer an opportunity to evaluate GENLITEC POWER's manufacturing capabilities and product quality before making the purchasing decision. After the visit, the customer expressed appreciation for the company and its products and proceeded with the order for 23 GPC150S5 generator sets.

Supporting Drilling Operations in Egypt

The delivery of 23 GPC150S5 diesel generator sets provided the customer's drilling camps in Alexandria and Cairo with a dependable power-generation solution. The project also demonstrated the importance of selecting generator equipment suitable for demanding outdoor environments and continuous industrial operations.

This project reflects GENLITEC POWER's ability to supply reliable diesel generator sets for large-scale international drilling operations. With proven engine and alternator configurations, GENLITEC POWER continues to provide practical power solutions for drilling, construction, industrial and infrastructure projects worldwide.
