Nabors 已成功将其在巴肯作业的所有四台 Hess Corporation 钻机转换为更清洁的高线电力。

Nabors 安装了 Canrig PowerTAP™ Highline 电力变压器模块，以实现来自公用电网的直接供电。现场备用发电机可确保停电时电力不间断。

Hess 预计，在未来五年内，这支全电动巴肯钻井船队将使其巴肯钻井作业的温室气体排放量减少约 50%，能源成本减少约 70%。用电力为钻井作业提供动力还可以减少噪音和卡车交通。

Hess 表示，在 2022 年该项目的试点期间，使用电力作为主要能源，通过提供辅助电源提高了钻机的可靠性。展望未来，赫斯预计其钻井平台的电气化和高线电力的使用也将减少停机时间。

Nabors 钻机长期以来一直依靠电网供电运行。最近，Nabors 旗下部门 Canrig Drilling Technology 发布了其变压器技术。PowerTAP 可以在任何可接入电网的交流钻机上实现高电源利用率，无论钻机制造商如何。它采用撬装式安装，可轻松往返钻机现场，并使用独立的导线电缆卷筒轻松安装在任何有兼容公用电源的地方。

部署在 Lower 48 的 Nabors 和非 Nabors 钻机上的 20 多个 PowerTAP 模块的现场结果表明，每台钻机最初平均可节省 20 tpd 的二氧化碳当量。¹ Canrig 还计划推出直接从 PowerTAP 模块为其他井场设备供电的技术，并在需要时启用相位转换功能。

Canrig 高级副总裁 Don Prejean 评论道：“我们致力于通过智能、可持续的解决方案提供负责任的碳氢化合物生产。PowerTAP 是我们专门为客户同时降低成本和排放而构建的众多有影响力的技术之一。我们很自豪能够与 Hess 合作，实现他们的可持续发展目标并提高钻井性能。”

Nabors has successfully converted all four of its Hess Corporation drilling rigs working in the Bakken to cleaner highline power.

Nabors installed its Canrig PowerTAP™ Highline Power Transformer Module to enable direct power from the utility grid. Backup onsite generators ensure power goes uninterrupted should an outage occur.

Over the next five years, Hess expects this fully electric Bakken drilling fleet will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its Bakken drilling operations by approximately 50% and energy costs by approximately 70%. Powering drilling operations with electricity also reduces noise and truck traffic.

Hess said during the project’s pilot in 2022, the use of electricity as the primary energy source increased rig reliability by providing a secondary power source. Looking ahead, Hess expects electrification of its rigs and access to highline power also to reduce downtime.

Nabors rigs have long been running on grid power. More recently, Canrig Drilling Technology, a division of Nabors, released its transformer technology. PowerTAP enables highline power utilisation on any AC drilling rig where grid power is accessible, regardless of rig manufacturer. It is skid-mounted for easy transport to and from rigsites and easily installed anywhere compatible utility electrical power is available using a standalone conductor cable reel.

Field results from more than 20 PowerTAP modules deployed in the Lower 48 on Nabors and non-Nabors rigs indicate an initial average savings per rig of 20 tpd of CO2e.¹ Canrig also plans to introduce technologies to power additional wellsite equipment directly from the PowerTAP module and enable phase conversion capabilities where required.

Canrig Senior Vice President Don Prejean commented: “We are committed to delivering responsible hydrocarbon production through smart, sustainable solutions. PowerTAP is one of many impactful technologies we’ve purpose-built to simultaneously lower costs and emissions for our customers. We are proud to collaborate with Hess to achieve their sustainability goals and drive better drilling performance.”
