随着能源安全问题日益突出，从运营商到服务公司，业内人士都在问“下一个新能源是什么？” 减少资本支出的下一步方法是什么？下一个可以在油田实施的新技术是什么？

所有迹象都表明电气化是解决方案——一种环保的解决方案，可以节省资金并简化过于复杂的操作。

NexTier Oilfield Solutions 电力解决方案副总裁 Aaron Hilber 告诉 Hart Energy：“我们需要利用一切优势来降低每桶石油的到岸成本，而燃料是其中的重要组成部分。” “我们需要用更便宜的天然气，特别是国产天然气来取代尽可能多的柴油。”

With the problem of energy security growing, everyone in the industry—from operators to service companies—has been asking “What’s next?” What’s the next new power source? What’s the next way to reduce capex? What’s the next new technology that can be implemented in the oil patch?

All signs point to electrification as the answer—an environmentally friendly solution that can save money and simplify overly complex operations.

“We need to take every advantage we can to lower the landed costs of a barrel of oil, and fuel is a big part of the equation,” Aaron Hilber, vice president of power solutions at NexTier Oilfield Solutions told Hart Energy. “So as much diesel as we can displace with cheaper natural gas, especially domestically produced natural gas, we need to do that.”
