Resources
Reduce Fuel Consumption
PowerBlade™ transforms wasted braking energy into a strategic efficiency solution. By capturing electrical energy from drilling equipment, the system reduces fuel consumption by up to 30%. Fewer generators online, optimized generator load level, optimal performance, lower costs — PowerBlade turns lost energy into a sustainable advantage.
Increase Tripping Speed
PowerBlade can boost tripping speeds by releasing a large amount of energy during drawworks acceleration. By minimizing power fluctuations and generator load, the system responds faster, smoother tripping sequences. The result: reduced non-productive time and enhanced rig performance.
Improve Efficiency
PowerBlade enhances operational efficiency by capturing and repurposing wasted energy. By converting excess braking energy into a reusable power source, it reduces overall energy consumption and optimizes performance. Whether you're aiming to improve power management or meet industry efficiency standards like ISO 50001 or DNV abate notations, PowerBlade helps you get there.
