New natural gas engine for pumping use
The new AJAX E-565 natural gas engine is a rugged one cylinder, two-cycle version that's suited for pumping applications in a variety of different operating conditions.
The company says the engine can operate efficiently using a range of fuel gas including H2S warranted up to 2.5%. The E-565 meets all current federal US emissions standards, the firm points out.
This 40 hp unit is rated at 56 braked mean effective pressure at 525 rpm with a 6:1 compression ratio. It comes with an automotive starter, a Ringfeder Corp. flywheel to crankshaft locking device, which the firm says provides an easier, safer way to remove the flywheel during maintenance, an Altronic Inc. I ignition system, and a standard "dry" type air filter.

New software aids oil company planning
Newly released of Merak enterprise planning (MEP) software is a next-generation technology that enables dynamic oil and gas business planning, including event-driven or evergreen plans.
The firm says, "With MEP, oil and gas companies can get fast answers to complex business questions for improved decision making. This software helps clients to proactively respond to changing market and operational conditions to achieve growth objectives."
In a preliminary field test with a large integrated, independent oil and gas company, MEP demonstrated 50% reduction in project processing time, increased confidence in results, and 75% reduction in analysis time, the firm noted.
MEP uses an oil and gas data management cube to align strategy with plans and budgets—simultaneously integrating reserves, production, and financial data—to reveal business insights for timely decisions based on continually updated business plans.
MEP leverages Microsoft Corp. technologies to provide a collaborative platform for oil and gas business applications to generate valuable information in context using a calculation engine. Its data aggregation and mining capabilities deliver business intelligence and performance analytics in the context of an oil and gas enterprise.
