 Battery Energy Storage Solution concept

✓ utilizing batteries to cover

rig power demand
including drilling and
tripping leading to
reduction of engines peak
loads, stopping 1 to 1.25
engine out of 3 engines in
average and increasing
remaining engines load at
higher load factors %;
besides emissions
reduction , all offered
without removing any of
the existing engines

 Advantages and benefits of battery energy storage solution
• 10-15% reduction of CO2 emissions and 12% of NOx emissions
• Allows to resume drilling for few minutes during complete rig blackout
• Optimized loading of engines resulting in fuel savings of 10-15%
• Blackout mitigation and prevention
• 40-45% reduction in engines oil consumption and hence improved wasted oil
• Faster dynamic response to electric load demands
• Reduced power system voltage and frequency fluctuations
• Faster drawworks tripping speeds
• Reduction of stuck pipe events
• Reduction of drill bits failure rate
• Reduction of well completion time(20-25% reduction on workover rigs)
• Reduction of total number of engines needed online
• 40-45% reduction in engines total running hours
• Increased span of engines top and major overhauls(overhauls deferrals)
• Can be applied on any rig type (land, offshore) and rig activity(workover, drilling)
