Our Beginning
Electric Drilling Technologies began its journey in the Barnett Shale in 2008, supporting drilling operations at the DFW Airport. What started as a technical challenge became the foundation of our innovative approach to grid power solutions.
“Our mission was clear: deliver power without compromising air quality or safety.”

EDT gets its start in the Barnett Shale at DFW Airport, supporting Chesapeake and NOMAC Drilling.

Breaking New Ground
From Complex Beginnings to Seamless Power Switching
The grid power installations at the airport were cumbersome, requiring multiple connections to transform utility voltage. Over time, our system evolved into a compact Transfer Switch design — compatible with any rig and enabling crews to switch between generators and grid with ease.
EDT grew through the industry cycles: the Barnett came and went, followed by the Bakken boom, the environmentally sensitive DJ Basin, and now the Permian Basin — the heartbeat of our operations.
The EDT Difference
Compact Designs
Refined with higher-level engineering, simpler logistics, and safer installations.
Flexible Integration
Seamlessly connects with any drilling rig electrical system.
Proven Reliability
Many years of operational success, customer trust, and continued innovation as rig loads use increased.
People First, Always
EDT has always listened to the demands of the industry, working side by side with rig crews and installation teams to understand what matters most.
Today, our dedicated Operations, Engineering, and Administration teams ensure every customer receives the product and service they deserve.
