Investigation of energy cost reduction opportunities in oil production drilling rigs and systems

Article preview

This paper presents the results of research into the possibilities of reducing energy consumption on rigs designed for drilling wells and on pumping equipment for pumping petroleum products. It considers such problems as synchronization of oil field DIESEL engines on the drilling rig, which gives an opportunity to reduce fuel consumption and keep it operational as long as possible. In addition, it is shown how large amounts of energy can be extracted during drilling operations when running a pipe tool down a well and how this energy can be utilized. In the second part of the paper, the problem of real-time balancing and rebalancing of pumping units is discussed, as well as the possibility of using action with a triangular star (Δ-Y) asynchronous motor.

New Design and functional solutions of equipment for well drilling and oil production

Article preview

The article presents the functional evolution of drilling and pumping rigs, driven by the need to improve the sales efficiency of a company operating in a competitive environment. Therefore, the constant optimal processing has been analyzed on the oil rig, as well as problems such as performance and the introduction of new design solutions for hydraulic drive, steam and bursting systems, mud pumps. The temporal evolution of technical solutions for the oil production unit is presented, indicating its advantages and disadvantages.
