Special emphasis: power trends in the oil and gas industry - emerging force in the packaging business

One of the emerging powers in diesel, gas and gas turbine engine compressor and pump packaging for the on- and offshore oil and gas industry is Crawford Enterprises, Inc., Houston, Texas. The company's business involves engineering, designing, and fabricating, for sale or lease, compressor packages using diesel and gas reciprocating engines from 500 to 3000 hp (373 to 2237 kw) and gas turbine engines from 1160 to 27,500 hp. The company also produces gas turbine and reciprocating engine driven pump and generator packages. Some of the company's projects include compression and process plants for gas gathering and treating, gas transmission systems, gas turbine and engine driven oil pumping stations, high pressure gas reinjection, waterflood plants, air separation plants and single-lift packaged equipment and process units for offshore platforms. The primary thrust of the business has been in the US, Canada, Mexico, and South America.
