2025 - Dual Fuel Optimization

Cost & Carbon Savings with Dual Fuel Innovation in Montney

Tristar’s optimization of dual fuel substitution in Montney plug-and-perf completions is delivering measurable value through increased fuel efficiency and reduced operating costs. By steadily improving gas substitution rates—reaching as high as 71%—the team has successfully minimized diesel dependency without compromising daily pump times. This strategic shift not only supports more sustainable operations but also enhances equipment performance and reliability by leveraging cleaner-burning natural gas. The results reflect Tristar’s commitment to innovation and operational excellence in well completions.


These improvements translate directly into significant cost savings, with daily diesel displacement exceeding 50,000 litres and daily savings reaching up to $67,000. On a perwell basis, the impact is substantial—an estimated $200,000 in savings per standard Montney completion. For producers looking to lower their carbon footprint and maximize capital efficiency, Tristar’s dual fuel implementation represents a proven, field-tested solution. It’s a clear example of how our team delivers smart, impactful strategies that align operational performance with economic and environmental goals.
