Udmurtneft (operated by Rosneft and China Petrochemical Corporation Sinopec) has used the first domestically produced electric mobile drilling rig.
By replacing the traditional diesel engine with an electric drive, the impact on the environment is minimized. In addition, the transition to an electric drilling rig has reduced the company's energy costs by 30%, allowing savings of about 1 million rubles per well.
The rig's lifting capacity is 180 tons, and it moves on a mobile semi-trailer chassis. The driller's workplace is equipped with a comfortable closed cabin with joystick control. The electric power drive has made it possible to speed up preparation for drilling operations by 12 hours and reduce the time for scheduled preventive maintenance.
Currently, the new drilling rig is used at the Mishkinskoye field of Udmurtneft. In the future, the capabilities of the domestic rig will be used at other fields of the enterprise. This autumn, another similar drilling rig is planned to be put into operation.
