Boost Oil and Gas Operational Productivity with New Approaches to Power Infrastructure Deployments
Deployment of electrical distribution systems can be challenging for the oil and gas industry. Harsh environments, such as offshore platforms and onshore drilling and extraction sites often make it difficult for electrical distribution and power systems to be installed, commissioned and operated in traditional ways. Implementations are costly and systems uptime becomes a concern because of the complexity involved in making all the part pieces work together in a reliable fashion. Two recent innovations have now made it possible for oil and gas companies with power distribution challenges to streamline the power system deployment process while contributing to profitability: The first is a “fit for purpose” methodology, that helps to avoid the oversizing that has typically burdened many power distribution projects with high costs and low efficiencies. The second is a new trend involving the delivery of end-to-end pre-packaged electrical distribution systems that are pre-assembled an...
