GE Oil & Gas India - ecomagination

GE’s ecomagination initiative reflects GE’s commitment to meet customers’ demand for innovative solutions to tackle today’s environmental challenges while also driving economic growth. Ecomagination is a critical component of many technologies and processes in GE’s oil and gas portfolio.

The company's Gorgon project, the single largest gas development in Australia's history, is also the world's largest carbon dioxide sequestration project. The use of GE's advanced carbon sequestration technology means that Gorgon will release about 45 million tons less greenhouse gas than a comparable coal project. With India's upstream gas sector due for expansion, similar carbon sequestration methods could be deployed throughout the subcontinent.

However, the company is using technology to reduce emissions in more modest ways as well. GE's Indian R&D facilities have made real strides in improving the efficiency of gas engines, meaning not only fewer emissions but also energy conservation.

On the production end a number of GE Oil & Gas technologies are making wells more efficient by enhancing oil recovery. The company's gas reinjection and steam injection methods help maximize well effectiveness, and the water treatment technologies associated with water flooding both maximize recovery and protect the environment.

Finally, GE Oil & Gas' integrated modules help protect drilling sites and reduce projects' environmental footprint by providing fully integrated power generation and compression modular solutions. Because these solutions combine core equipment in a fully engineered and space efficient package, they can be deployed in environmentally sensitive areas with minimal impact.

Overall, the company's ecomagination initiative, with its demonstrated operating and environmental benefits, can help all the upstream, midstream and downstream portions of India's oil and gas sector become more efficient, productive, and eco-friendly.
