New type of fully electric vehicle-mounted workover rig promotes the electrification development of workover equipment
With the increasing difficulty of oil extraction and the growing complexity of well conditions, the task of well maintenance has become increasingly demanding. Energy drilling and exploration companies spend billions of yuan each year on well repairs, as the cost of well maintenance is quite high and poses potential environmental threats.
workover rigs are essential equipment in the exploration and development of oil and gas fields, primarily used for downhole tools such as tubing, sucker rods, and pumps during the well repair process.
In the future, energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective workover rigs will become an inevitable trend in the domestic development of drilling and workover equipment.
Against the backdrop of global energy conservation and environmental protection requirements, electric vehicle-mounted workover rigs will become the mainstream in the field of workover equipment.
The latest truck mounted electric workover rigs developed by Sino Mechanical is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, which is with low noise and low operating cost.
Electric workover rig is a mobile self-propelled rig used to perform one or more remedial operations, such as deepening, plugging back, pulling and resetting liners, on a producing oil or gas well to try to restore or increase the well's production.
Sino Mechanical's electric vehicle-mounted workover rig has significant advantages in improving the efficiency of well maintenance operations. The vehicle-mounted workover rigs designed and manufactured by Sino are capable of covering a well depth range from 1000m to 9000m, with winch power ranging from 250hp to 1000hp. They are characterized by high workload capacity, reliable performance, strong off-road capabilities, convenient transportation, low operation and relocation costs, and can also be designed and developed to meet special requirements in high-cold, desert, high-altitude, and other regions.
Advantages of fully electric oilfield workover rigs
Fully electric oilfield workover rigs offer several advantages over traditional rigs powered by fossil fuels. Here are some key advantages:
1.Environmental Sustainability: The primary advantage of fully electric workover rigs is their significantly lower environmental impact. By eliminating the use of diesel or other fossil fuels, these rigs produce zero tailpipe emissions, reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. They help in mitigating climate change and improving overall air quality in oilfield operations.
2.Energy Efficiency: Electric motors are generally more energy-efficient compared to internal combustion engines. Electric workover rigs can convert a higher percentage of the energy from the power source into useful work, resulting in reduced energy consumption and potentially lower operating costs. This efficiency can lead to cost savings and a smaller carbon footprint.
3.Noise Reduction: Electric workover rigs operate more quietly compared to traditional rigs with combustion engines. This is particularly beneficial in urban or populated areas, where noise pollution can be a concern. The reduced noise levels allow for more environmentally friendly and socially responsible operations.
4.Lower Maintenance and Operating Costs: Electric workover rigs often have fewer moving parts compared to rigs with internal combustion engines. This can lead to reduced maintenance requirements and costs associated with engine servicing, oil changes, and other maintenance tasks. Additionally, as the cost of electricity is generally lower than diesel fuel, the operational costs of electric rigs can be more cost-effective in the long run.
5.Improved Performance: Electric motors provide instant torque, delivering more immediate power and responsiveness compared to combustion engines. This can enhance the rig's performance during maneuvers and operations, improving overall efficiency and productivity.
6.Flexibility and Integration: Fully electric workover rigs can integrate with other renewable energy sources and energy storage systems. For example, solar panels or wind turbines can provide electricity to charge the rig's batteries, making them even more sustainable and reducing dependence on the grid. This flexibility allows for customization and adaptation to different operating conditions and locations.
7.Regulatory Compliance: As governments and regulatory bodies place increasing emphasis on reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to cleaner energy sources, electric workover rigs can help oilfield operators comply with stricter environmental regulations. Utilizing electric equipment demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and can enhance the industry's social and environmental reputation.
