Field Gas Conditioning

Turn Field Gas Into a Usable, Reliable Fuel Source

Nacelle’s field gas conditioning units process field gas on site, making it suitable for use in drilling and completions operations. Whether the gas is rich (high BTU) or pipeline-quality, our patented, operationally-tailored technology helps operators run a successful field gas fueling program, reducing reliance on diesel, LNG, and CNG while maintaining consistent performance in the field.

Why Field Gas Conditioning

Field gas is an underutilized resource. When properly conditioned, it can displace traditional fuels, lower operating costs, and reduce emissions, all while keeping operations running.

  • Safety: less manual refueling, fewer trucks, and reduced manpower on site
  • Lower operating costs: diesel, CNG, and LNG displacement, with longer engine life and less maintenance
  • Environmental performance: lower diesel emissions, reduced flaring, and support for ESG goals
  • Added revenue: retain valuable NGLs for downstream marketing

 

Since 2015, Nacelle’s field gas conditioning has displaced more than 154 million gallons of diesel and generated over $479 million in fuel savings across 940+ oil and gas projects (as of September 2024).

Our Field Gas Conditioning Units

Four units, matched to your gas and your site.
Standard across the lineup: remote and push-button ESD, 24/7 remote monitoring, onboard fire suppression, and no external power requirements, plus unit-specific gas and atmosphere monitoring.

DWIGHT™

For rich, high-BTU field gas.

On-site conditioning for drilling and completions, with onboard compression and dual-mode (East/West) operation for added flexibility.

DONNIE™
For rich, high-BTU field gas.

On-site conditioning for drilling and completions, featuring conditioned and permeate streams, Donnie/Daisy mode, and no external power requirements.

DAISY™
For pipeline-quality (dry) field gas.

A higher-capacity unit for drilling and completions, with hazardous atmosphere and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) monitoring built in.

DOLLY™
For pipeline-quality (dry) field gas.

A compact, self-powered unit suited to drilling operations and tighter site footprints.

Common Questions

What is field gas conditioning?
Field gas conditioning processes natural gas on site so it can fuel drilling and completions equipment. It makes field gas usable, helping operators displace diesel, LNG, and CNG while maintaining performance in the field.
How do I know which unit is right for my site?
It depends on your gas. Rich, high-BTU gas is suited to Dwight and Donnie, while pipeline-quality (dry) gas is suited to Daisy and Dolly. Nacelle evaluates your gas and site conditions to match the right unit before deployment.
When would an operator use mobile compression for well kickoff?
It is used in highly developed reservoirs where offset hydraulic fracturing can impact nearby wells. DANNY helps pressurize and protect those wells and bring them back online quickly.
Are the units safe to run on site?
Yes. Every unit includes remote and push-button emergency shutdown, 24/7 remote monitoring, onboard fire suppression, and unit-specific gas and atmosphere monitoring, with no external power required.
Can Nacelle tailor a unit to our operation?
Yes. Nacelle is not limited to standard configurations and provides engineering solutions tailored to your gas composition, site conditions, and operating goals.
