GD Energy Products (GDEP), the leading total solutions provider to the well service, drilling and fracturing pump market, and Catalyst Energy Services, a stimulation services startup specializing in hydraulic fracturing treatment , announce their partnership in hydraulic fracturing technology to deliver high power and lower emissions.
Together, the companies are committed to innovating and testing technology that improves operations and ESG performance.
Catalyst Energy Services selected GDEP’s Thunder 5000, an 11-inch stroke quintuplex pump rated for 5,000 horsepower, to safely maximize flow at slower operating speed in its patent-pending eco-conscious fracking solution , VortexPrimeÔ.
The pump contributes to the patented technology within VortexPrime that reduces the number of trucks in its fleet from twenty to eight, allowing for faster assembly and disassembly, making it a viable option for remote and hard-to-reach sites. To date, VortexPrime has completed more than 12,000 stages and has provided pumping and operational data to help companies continually improve performance.
Catalyst Energy Services’ first-of-its-kind, award-nominated VortexPrime solution features direct-drive turbine technology powered by natural gas, reducing CO-equivalent greenhouse gas emissions by up to 40%2, reducing footprint by up to 55% and removing up to 99% of waste, compared to conventional fracking fleets.
