Energy saving potential in diesel electric drilling rig
Abstract
The life of oil stock in India with the present rate of consumption is not more than 21 years. The life of natural gas stock is predicted to be 38 years. India though a developing country, its consumption per dollar of GDP is as high as 0.77 kg of oil equivalent compare to developed country like Japan's 0.1 kg of oil equivalent. This indicates that there is a huge potential for conservation by efficient usage of all forms of energy including petroleum products. With this point in mind, a comprehensive energy audit of a diesel electric (ACSCR) drilling rig was undertaken. The paper presents a few of attractive energy options: optimum loading of DG sets, load management of transformers, replacement of over-sized motors by appropriately sized ones, replacement of V-belts by modern flat belts, plugging of compressed air leakage and use of time switches.
