Capstone Turbine Corporation announced that it has received two orders totaling 24MW from its Russian distribution partner BPC Engineering for new associated gas and pipeline projects. The low-emission Capstone microturbines will be installed at modular power stations. Several of the microturbines will be fueled by untreated associated gas from well sites that otherwise would be flared.

Associated gas utilization for power will allow the customer to avoid costly emissions penalties and to significantly reduce power costs at the oil field level.
