Fuel Flexibility Benefits of New Oil Highlighted in Chevron White Paper
HDAX 9700 was created to provide a solution for engines that run on multiple liquid and gaseous fuels.
Chevron Marine Products' new lubricating oil has a lot to offer, and this is highlighted in a White Paper that outlines how four stroke engine operators can benefit from the new lubricating oil's versatility.
HDAX 9700 was created to provide a solution for engines that run on multiple liquid and gaseous fuels and applications that require a low sulphated ash lubricant.
It is also suitable for dual fuel marine engines as HDAX 9700 has successfully completed more than 20.000 hours of testing on a Wärtsilä dual fuel power plant.
“HDAX 9700 brings many benefits for operators of four stroke engines. We worked to develop an optimised engine oil that could be used with multiple fuels without the need to specifically match one oil to one fuel, be it diesel, natural gas, LNG, compressed natural gas (CNG) or biofuel,” said Luc Verbeeke, Senior Staff Engineer of Chevron Marine Products.
The new white paper - HDAX 9700: Enabling the future of fuel flexibility, outlines how HDAX 9700 is recommended for dual fuel, medium-speed, four stroke cycle, trunk piston engines which alternate between burning natural gas, with diesel pilot fuel ignition, and up to 100 percent low sulphur fuels (<1000ppm sulphur).
The oil enables vessel operators to switch from gas to low sulphur diesel and biofuels, without the need to change lubricant. With HDAX 9700, ship operators can benefit from fuel flexibility in their four-stroke, medium speed engines.
HDAX 9700 has become the first lubricant to gain time-unrestricted approval for use with MAN Energy Solutions’ four stroke engines running on either LNG or distillate fuels (with a sulphur content of up to 0.10%).
It has field service experience and is recommended for engines in vessels operating in several marine applications, such as coastal and inland marine. It is also well-suited for other commercial sectors such as railroad and power generation. These high output engines may be turbocharged and equipped with exhaust catalyst systems.
Verbeeke added, “HDAX 9700 offers advantages and options for four stroke engine operators using a variety of fuels."

The Carbon Conference 2024 will bring sustainable stakeholders and energy enthusiasts together that wish to capture CO2 emissions safely and transport the CO2 via pipelines, allowing the captured CO2 to be permanently stored in deep underground formations. The Carbon Conference 2024 is dedicated to advancing the necessary conversation regarding carbon emissions, capture, transportation, and storage.
The Conference Center at the Tuscany Suites & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, is the perfect venue to encourage productive discussions and diverse dialogue - both pro and con - everyone’s voice will be heard in order to find a positive path forward for all parties concerned.
The Carbon Conference has partnered with the Energy Exposition & Resources Symposium for multiple reasons. Their 25 years of successful Energy Exposition conferences is extremely valuable experience in the Carbon Conference's first year, however what may be more important is why it started.
Over 25 years ago, Wyoming was in the middle of an energy dispute similar to the carbon pipeline and storage issues. The Energy Exposition was started in order to broker peace and bring all voices to the table in a conference format. Twenty-five years later a similar situation is presented in the world of carbon.
We believe this partnership with the Energy Exposition & Resources Symposium will ensure fair deals will get done and peace will be brokered at the Carbon Conference 2024 Las Vegas.
The Carbon Conference is limited to 500 stakeholders, policymakers, impacted parties, and industry experts to ensure a solution-focused event, bringing together as many decision-makers to the table in order to discuss all the pressing issues related to carbon emissions.
We encourage you and/or your company to participate in this remarkable event. Sponsorships will not only allow your participation at the conference, but also provide your company with valuable exposure to a diverse audience of multi-industry professionals and stakeholders.
