RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Still No Electrics? Trican Well Service Ltd. (TSX: TCW) ("Trican" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it will build and operate the first next generation, low emissions fracturing spread in Canada. As a fundamental component of our ESG strategy, Trican will upgrade our existing pumping equipment with CAT Tier 4 dynamic gas blending ("DGB") engines that will provide a leading-edge reduction in emissions and lower fuel costs for our industry. Once completed this fall, this CAT Tier 4 DGB upgraded fracturing spread will be deployed for Tourmaline Oil Corp ("Tourmaline") in Northeastern British Columbia and Northwestern Alberta for the next three years.
Trican successfully completed its field trial of the new Tier 4 engine technology during the first quarter of 2021. The Tier 4 DGB engine displaces 85% of diesel with clean burning natural gas, reducing CO2 and particulate matter emissions. Combined with Trican's idle reduction technology, this fleet will lower overall fuel consumption and emissions, improving the sustainability of our operations.
