Answers to Common Questions About Rig Electrification and EDT’s Services
EDT works exclusively with land-based oil and gas drilling rigs. Our modular systems are compatible with a wide variety of rig types and configurations. We have worked with most US and Canadian Drilling Contractors.
EDT equipment is installed during rig assembly. There is no delay in setup for integration. Our experienced crews ensure fast, safe rig up and rig down with no delay to operations.
We operate in all major U.S. basins, including the Permian, Bakken, DJ, Anadarko, Powder River, and Eagle Ford. We serve Texas, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming.
Simple. Reach out through our contact form to request a consultation or schedule a site evaluation. We’ll walk you through your options and provide a turnkey plan tailored to your project.
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!
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.
Not at all. EDT manages the entire integration, working directly with the drilling contractor to ensure a smooth, safe transition without delays.
EDT can assist in identifying utility tie-in points, coordinating with providers, and even supporting temporary solutions like BESS (battery storage) to bridge gaps.
Yes — many operators leverage their long-term ESP infrastructure to power rigs during the drilling phase, accelerating ROI and maximizing use of power assets.
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.
In most cases, operators see ROI in under 6 months, especially when infrastructure is already planned or available.
Yes, depending on location and setup, electrification may qualify for state or federal incentives related to emissions reduction or energy efficiency.
Switching from diesel to grid power can cut emissions by up to 30–50%, depending on your utility’s energy mix.
Yes — electrified operations provide measurable reductions in Scope 1 emissions and support compliance with ESG and state regulatory frameworks.
