PW Power Systems, a provider of energy solutions for the power generation industry, has its first customer in the oil and gas production industry. PWPS announces the signing of an agreement to supply 30-megawatt FT8® MOBILEPAC® aero-derivative gas turbine generators to U.S. Well Services, LLC (“USWS”) with delivery beginning fall 2018.
U.S. Well Services, based in Houston, Texas, provides high-pressure, hydraulic fracturing services in active shale and unconventional oil and natural gas basins. The FT8 MOBILEPAC gas turbine generators will power USWS’ patented electric frac fleets.

PW Power Systems President and CEO Raul Pereda emphasized, “The FT8 MOBILEPAC is the ideal technology for this application. It will dramatically reduce the time and resources required for mobilization and demobilization while enabling full electrification of unconventional oil and gas production. We are proud to partner with U.S. Well Services to make this advancement possible. Inexpensive and abundant North American natural gas has created a Change in Power.”
Joel Broussard, CEO of U.S. Well Services, added, “This agreement with PW Power Systems enhances the power generating capacity, mobility, and scalability of our operations allowing us to provide important benefits to our customers. We look forward to working with PWPS to integrate the FT8 MOBILEPAC into our electric frac fleets.”
