We fuel the future. We push the boundaries
of technology to bring energy to the world.

Technology Leadership
GE is there in all the key plays in which you are working with
the field-proven components, systems and services you have
relied on for nearly 200 years. From drilling to processing to
industrial markets, GE is there with a broad range of products
and services to address your needs.
As one of the leading worldwide providers of reciprocating
compression equipment for oil and gas production,
transmission, processing and independent power industries,
you can count on GE for quality and reliability. We understand
your need for flexible solutions that provide a lower life cycle
cost and punctual delivery.

Exemplary Engineering
GE employs experienced engineers who use the latest tools
and techniques to work out solutions for complex problems and
bring new ideas to market.
Application engineering teams of engineers develop
custom solutions for specific applications, finding just the right
combination of equipment and technology to meet stringent
demands, including fully packaged compressors.
Rapid prototyping and virtual testing using sophisticated
3D modeling software, advanced simulation software and 3D
printing techniques, our engineers can perform thermal, stress,
combustion and emissions analysis on parts and assemblies
before a single prototype is built.
In the constant pursuit of improvement, we explore new
technologies, test new designs and experiment with new ideas.

Since 1833, GE has manufactured top-quality products that have become known
throughout the industries we serve. Today, our reciprocating compression products are
known for their reliability and performance.
 High-Speed Reciprocating Compressors (HSR)

Our HSR products range from 60 HP (45 kW) to 9000 HP (6714 kW), with a variety of piston rod load capacities and frame stroke
combinations. Over 15,000 of our compressors can be found around the globe, working in fuel gas boosting, gas lift, CNG fueling,
reinjection, gas gathering and vapor recovery applications operating 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

Economical
GE Oil & Gas compressors are integrated into a package by a global network of authorized packagers. The compressor is
matched with a driver, coolers, controls, and piping typically on a single skid. This allows the complete compressor package to
be easily moved to a new location. This concept lowers your installation, site construction, and re-application costs.
Our compressors are designed to be directly connected to a variety of reciprocating natural gas engines (720 to 1,800 rpm) and
electric motors (750 to 1,800 rpm). A variety of compressor frame strokes allow the compressor to be perfectly matched to the
optimum driver.

Flexible
It is the nature of natural gas production that pressures and flows often change. Therefore, greater productivity can be attained
if the compressor is easily adaptable to the new operating conditions.
Many GE Oil & Gas high-speed reciprocating compressors feature field-replaceable cylinder liners that allow the cylinder bore
to be increased or decreased as operating conditions change. When the cylinder must be changed, several cylinders have
identical flange connections, allowing the same piping and bottles to be used. In either case, there is no need to modify the
on-skid piping and accessories, further lowering modification costs. If the cylinder bore is ever damaged, it is less expensive and
less time consuming to replace a liner than a complete cylinder.
A variety of capacity-control devices are also available, including our standard variable-volume clearance pockets, featuring
generous clearance volumes. These provide greater flexibility for changing operating conditions.
The modular design of our high-speed reciprocating compressors allows frames and cylinders to be easily reconfigured, offering
increased flexibility with a lower cost.

Reliable
GE Oil & Gas API 11P high-speed reciprocating compressors are balanced opposed to minimize vibration by equalizing the
opposing reciprocating forces on the crankshaft. Heavy, ribbed frames distribute reciprocating stresses evenly for greater
strength and longer life. Many compressor cylinders are water jacketed to lower operating temperatures, provide thermal
stability, and improve valve life.
