Maximize efficiency and reduce fuel costs with high-performance electric fracturing
talk to an expertA combination of factors has driven the increase in adoption of electric fracturing. First, the industry has committed to lower emissions through cleaner, more efficient frac operations. By eliminating diesel, operators achieve significant cost savings. Finally, the industry’s constant focus on efficiency further fuels demand for electric fracturing.
The ZEUS® electric fracturing platform delivers differentiated value on each of these drivers. It offers an integrated, all-electric frac site that lowers emissions, reduces fuel costs, and maximizes efficiency gains for our customers.
In diesel cost saved per month on simul-frac operations
Faster stage to stage transitions
More HHP hours pumped per month
Lower emissions using reciprocating engines
The ZEUS platform was built for high service intensity frac operations, with the ability to pump higher volumes, rates and pressures, right out of the box. The platform's proven track record includes pumping more than 500 hrs in the first 30 days of operations for multiple operators across North America.
Every ZEUS pumping unit can achieve up to 5,000 HHP consistently, allowing operators to pump higher rates, using half the equipment necessary. With the reliability and efficiency of its electric power train, it helps operators reduce dollars spent per completed lateral foot. The electric power train provides faster rate response and more precise control. An electric system also eliminates non-productive time associated with diesel engines, transmissions and hydraulics.
The result is an electric fracturing platform that has delivered an average of 30% faster transition times and 11% more HHP hours pumped per month—this means more pumping hours, more lateral feet completed, and more cost savings for operators.
In terms of lower emissions, the platform offers flexibility and compatibility across multiple sources, including reciprocating engines, micro grids and grid power. Each of these power solutions results in lower emissions, compared to diesel and dual-fuel operations.
When powered by the grid, the ZEUS platform can reduce overall emissions up to an estimated 45%, compared to Tier 2 diesel engines1. When grid power is unavailable, reciprocating engines provide operators with mobile power generation proven to deliver reliability, consume less fuel, and create fewer emissions, compared to other mobile power sources. While using reciprocation engines, the platform reduces overall emissions by up to an estimated 30%, compared to Tier 2 diesel engines1. The power density provided by reciprocating engines also allows operators to scale power supply to meet their specific job design, eliminating the need to pay for unused, stranded power.
In addition to lower emissions, electric fracturing significantly reduces fuel costs. During a simul-frac operation, the platform can displace more than 900,000 gal of diesel per month or 11 million gal annually2.
