两家服务公司的新合资企业旨在为二叠纪盆地和巴肯油田及其他地区的石油和天然气行业提供电气化。

12 月 10 日， e2Companies和Nabors Industries表示，两家公司已同意合作在能源市场提供综合电力解决方案，以满足石油和天然气运营电气化和减少排放日益增长的需求。

此外， ProPetro Holding Corp于 12 月 10 日表示，将推出十年来首条新的有机服务线，为同一市场提供发电。该公司的 ProPetro Energy Solutions 将以 ProPWR 的名义开展业务，已订购 110 兆瓦天然气移动发电设备，用于油田和工业应用。

石油和天然气钻探者一直在努力通过用电力代替柴油发电来减少排放。根据国际能源署的数据，他们造成了全球近 15% 的能源相关温室气体排放。

9 月，研究公司Rystad Energy估计，通过转换可再生能源或天然气发电，石油和天然气生产设施可以减少 80% 以上的相关排放。

Nabors 和 e2 的目标是将 Nabors 现有的石油和天然气技术业务与 e2 的 Virtual Utility 现场发电系统结合起来，后者还包括能源存储和电网优化服务。两家公司还在寻找地热和太阳能领域的机遇。

Nabors 首席执行官 Anthony Petrello 表示：“电气化是减少排放的关键推动因素。行业需要采取更全面的方法，考虑从钻井、完井到生产的整个生命周期，以设计出最大限度提高效率和可持续性的电气化战略。”

ProPetro 表示，其眼光不仅限于石油和天然气业务。ProPWR 部门正在购买价值 1.22 亿美元的设备，预计交货时间为 2025 年 6 月至 2026 年 3 月。

ProPWR 总裁特拉维斯·西莫林 (Travis Simmering) 表示：“我们最初的重点是油田电力应用，但我们完全打算构建一个平台，该平台将在服务非石油和天然气应用方面具有高度竞争力，例如我们认为可能倾向于二叠纪盆地的一般工业项目和数据中心。”

Two new ventures by service companies aim to electrify the oil and gas industry in the Permian Basin and Bakken’s oilfields and beyond.

e2Companies and Nabors Industries have agreed to collaborate to provide integrated power solutions in energy markets, tapping into growing demand to electrify oil and gas operations and reduce emissions, the companies said Dec. 10.

Also on Dec. 10, ProPetro Holding Corp. said it would launch its first new organic service line in a decade to provide power generation to the same market. The company’s ProPetro Energy Solutions, which will do business as ProPWR, has ordered 110 megawatts of natural gas-fired mobile power generation equipment for oilfield and industrial applications.

Oil and gas drillers have been working to reduce emissions by replacing diesel generation with electricity. They are responsible for almost 15% of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, according to the International Energy Agency.

In September, the research firm Rystad Energy estimated that oil and gas production facilities could cut associated emissions by more than 80% by switching to electricity generated from renewables or natural gas that would otherwise be flared.

Nabors and e2 aim to combine Nabors’ existing oil and gas technology business with e2’s Virtual Utility on-site power generation system, which also include energy storage and grid optimization services. The companies are also looking at opportunities in geothermal and solar power.

“Electrification is a key enabler to reducing emissions,” said Nabors CEO Anthony Petrello. “The industry needs to take a more holistic approach—considering the entire lifecycle from drilling and completions through production—to design electrification strategies that maximize efficiency and sustainability.”

ProPetro is looking beyond oil and gas operations, the company said. The ProPWR unit is purchasing $122 million worth of equipment, with deliveries expected from June 2025 to March 2026.

“Our focus is initially on oilfield power applications, but we fully intend to build a platform that will be highly competitive in serving non-oil and gas applications such as general industrial projects and data centers that we believe are likely to gravitate towards the Permian Basin,” said Travis Simmering, president of ProPWR.
