RAG.ENERGY.DRILLING

The drilling rigs are electric. To remove the need for an external power supply, the generators are driven partly by compressed natural gas (CNG) sourced from our own output or other producers’ gathering systems, and partly by diesel fuel. In the interests of fuel economy, each rig has six modular generators.

The use of ultra-modern, environmentally friendly drive units keeps emissions to a minimum. The base load power supply comes from natural gas generators, while peak load demand is met by diesel engines with particle filters.
