The Challenge: Reducing Costs and Emissions

Addressing inefficiencies and high fuel costs in oil & gas operations

The Challenge

High Fuel Costs and Inefficiencies in Oil & Gas:
‍Traditional drilling rigs rely on multiple diesel generators, leading to inefficiencies and additional operational costs, ranging from $1M to $5M annually.

Our Innovative Solutions

Hybrid Energy Management System (hEMS) for Oil & Gas: CleanDesign Inc’s hEMS integrates advanced battery storage and intelligent engine automation to optimize power loads. This system reduces fuel consumption, lowers emissions, reduces risk of blackouts, and enhances engine performance, which provides significant cost savings and environmental benefits.

26%*

Reduction in natural gas consumption

Achieved a 13.6% reduction in fuel consumption.

29%*

Power GHG emissions for the operator

Reduction for the operator due to lower diesel and natural gas usage and a 43% reduction in particulate matter emissions, helping meet ESG goals and lowering costs.

~$100,000

Savings per annum per rig

In addition to fuel savings, further potential savings of over US$100,000 annum per rig once the carbon tax is implemented, starting 2025.

Maximize Efficiency, Minimize Emissions

Revolutionizing Drilling Operations with hEMS Technology

Reduce Fuel Consumption, Lower Carbon Output

Drilling rigs operating three gensets and consuming approximately 77 gallons of fuel per hour, producing 782 kg of CO2 per hour.

Optimize Operations with Smart Technology

CleanDesign’s hEMS are equipped with intelligent software that optimizes operations by automatically turning off gensets and utilizing battery power.

Maximize Efficiency, Minimize Emissions

Tripping on one genset, achievable only with the hEMS system, reduces consumption to approximately 52 gallons of fuel per hour, producing only 528 kg of CO2 per hour.

Data-Driven Efficiency

Advanced Data Collection and Real-Time Analysis

Leverage real-time analytics for smarter, more efficient operations
The software provides customers with live dashboards and detailed metrics, enabling improved maintenance scheduling and predictive modelling. These tools help identify potential issues before they become critical, ensuring smoother operations and reducing downtime.

1

Data is collected at a millisecond level across the rig’s core power systems at a rate of over 600,000 data points per minute.

2

The data is then encrypted, processed and sent via network routing to enable long-term analysis and archiving.

3

The company has developed in-house energy management systems which use the data to adjust power load algorithms in real time.

4

Live dashboards and metrics are provided to customers for improved maintenance schedules and predictive modelling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much fuel does CleanDesign's hEMS save on a drilling rig?

Based on 22 deployed units in 2024, CleanDesign's hEMS saves approximately 5,000–10,000 gallons of fuel per month per rig, averaging ~$300,000 USD in annual fuel savings at $3.00/gallon diesel pricing.

What GHG emission reduction can oil and gas operators expect from the hEMS?

Operators achieve 26–29% lower GHG emissions per rig, with approximately 50–100 tonnes of CO2 reduced per month per rig. Annually this represents 13,000–26,000 tonnes of CO2 reduction per rig.

Is CleanDesign's hEMS plug-and-play compatible with existing drilling rig generator setups?

Yes. The hEMS is designed as a plug-and-play solution that integrates with existing multi-genset configurations without requiring replacement of existing power generation equipment.

Which major oil and gas companies have adopted CleanDesign's hEMS?

CleanDesign has deployed its hEMS with Precision Drilling Corporation and Helmerich & Payne. Precision Drilling's CTO has stated the company plans to adopt battery energy storage as standard equipment across its drilling rig fleet.
