1.2 Million Follow up Order for Proprietary Variable Frequency Drive Systems (VFDs)

• Oil producer places major follow up order based on the success of Simark’s integrated solutions in their applications.
• Simark’s VFD systems help the oil producer to significantly reduce costs with unique installation and operation benefits.

Simark Controls Ltd., a subsidiary of SFC Energy, leading provider of hybrid power solutions to the stationary and mobile power generation markets, has received a new follow up order for their proprietary Variable Frequency Drive systems (VFDs) from an existing customer in the Alberta oil sands. The orders amount to approx. CAD 1.2 million.

VFD Systems operate electric submersible pumps (ESPs) used to artificially lift heavy oil from well-pads. The VFDs significantly reduce installation and operating costs. Additional benefits are improved pump uptimes, optimised pump operation and augmented oil production.

“This major follow up order clearly illustrates the high performance and operational excellence of our VFD solutions”, says Martin Curtis, President and General Manager of Simark Controls. “They bring speed, reliability, precision and major cost savings to oil and gas production.”
