6 FAQs about [Energy storage application in drilling engineering]

Can electric energy storage systems be used for drilling rigs?

The work to develop electric energy storage systems for drilling rigs has been underway worldwide for the last 5 years, however, mainly targeting isolated offshore rigs.

Can electric energy storage be used for drilling based on electric-chemical generators?

The article outlines development of an electric energy storage system for drilling based on electric-chemical generators. Description and generalization are given for the main objectives for this system when used on drilling rigs isolated within a single pad, whether these are fed from diesel gensets, gas piston power plants, or 6–10 kV HV lines.

Which rigs have energy storage systems for onshore drilling?

The energy storage system developed for onshore drilling is among the world’s first ones. As a foreign analog, only the project of the German rig manufacturer Bentec implemented in Oman can be highlighted. In 2017, the container-type 0.9 MW Bentec ESS with a storage capacity of 0.3 MW was put into trial operation on the KCA Deuteg T-94 rig.

Can energy storage systems improve energy eficiency of DPS-powered rigs?

Based on average daily power consumption statistics and load diagrams for various rig operating modes at more than fifty pads equipped with DPS, it was proposed to improve the energy eficiency of individual DPS-powered rigs by introducing energy storage systems (Fig. 1).

Can ESS be used on drilling rigs?

The total capacity of the rig power unit is 11.6 MW. The monthly saving of diesel fuel was 25%, and CO 2 emissions were reduced by 25%. In its basic specifications, this ESS was similar to the Australian Woodside Energy and ABB Ability ESS project. In the beginning of the article, feasibility of wide use of ESS on drilling rigs is substantiated.

Why do drilling rigs need a permanent energy source?

An energy source permanently integrated into the rig circuit will allow drilling contractors to compensate for voltage dips and surges, which will reduce emergency shutdowns and downtime of drilling equipment (Chervonchenko and Frolov 2020), minimize drilling hazards, and improve the DPS operation stability.
