Will this help with ESG reporting?

Yes — electrified operations provide measurable reductions in Scope 1 emissions and support compliance with ESG and state regulatory frameworks.

How much can I lower my emissions by electrifying rigs?

Switching from diesel to grid power can cut emissions by up to 30–50%, depending on your utility's energy mix.

Are there incentives or tax credits available?

Yes, depending on location and setup, electrification may qualify for state or federal incentives related to emissions reduction or energy efficiency.

What’s the ROI timeline for investing in electrification?

In most cases, operators see ROI in under 6 months, especially when infrastructure is already planned or available.

How much can I save by switching to grid power?

Operators typically save $2,000–$3,000 per rig, per day in diesel and maintenance. On a 300-day drilling schedule, that’s nearly $1M per rig annually.

Can I use the same infrastructure for ESPs and drilling?

Yes — many operators leverage their long-term ESP infrastructure to power rigs during the drilling phase, accelerating ROI and maximizing use of power assets.

What if my site doesn’t have grid access yet?

EDT can assist in identifying utility tie-in points, coordinating with providers, and even supporting temporary solutions like BESS (battery storage) to bridge gaps.

Will electrification disrupt my operations?

Not at all. EDT manages the entire integration, working directly with the drilling contractor to ensure a smooth, safe transition without delays.

What kind of power load is required to run a drilling rig on the grid?

Most rigs require around 1–2 MW, (3MW Peak Demand) depending on spec. If you're already planning for or running ESPs, you're likely close to having the capacity needed.

Do I need to purchase additional site infrastructure or power equipment?

EDT provides all necessary equipment from the utility point of delivery or site connection. Our Grid Sync inventory includes a power supply transformer, and controls. Whether the site has 12.5, 25, or 35 KV our team and inventory will make the project happen!
