Oilfield operations often face significant energy challenges, particularly in remote locations where grid reliability is poor, power fluctuations disrupt production, and diesel generators drive up operational costs and carbon emissions. HyperStrong, in collaboration with Wellplus New Energy Technology, has successfully deployed an advanced ESS solution for an oilfield fracturing platform in Changqing Oilfield, China’s largest oil and gas producer. This project marks a breakthrough in applying energy storage to oilfield fracturing operations, enabling a transition from diesel to electric power.
Challenges in Oilfield Energy Supply
Unstable grid power: Low grid capacity and frequent power fluctuations cause operational interruptions and safety risks.
High energy costs: Diesel generators dominate power supply in remote areas, leading to high fuel expenses and environmental pollution.
Complex energy management: Large-scale equipment like drilling rigs and electric pumps require dynamic power supply adjustments, making power scheduling and load management difficult.

To address these challenges, HyperStrong has customized a liquid-cooling ESS solution for the oilfield fracturing platform. This advanced system replaces diesel-based power with electric-driven solutions, delivering:
Stable voltage supply: Real-time power regulation based on grid capacity, voltage, load, and battery SOC ensures steady power for three electric pumps.
Seamless grid integration: The system adapts dynamically to maintain voltage stability and provide active power support. In case of grid failure, the ESS autonomously switches to off-grid mode to ensure continuous operation.
Highly integrated design: The ESS solution features a modular DC-AC architecture, allowing independent operation of each power branch for enhanced flexibility and reliability.
Low LCOS: By optimizing efficiency and extending battery lifespan, the solution significantly reduces the long-term cost of energy storage, making it more economically viable for oilfield operations.
Enabling Green and Cost-Effective Oilfield Operations
By reducing reliance on diesel and improving energy efficiency, HyperStrong's ESS solution helps oilfield operators cut costs, lower emissions, and increase grid flexibility.
This Changqing Oilfield project:
Significantly reduces fossil fuel consumption and operational expenses.
Enhances power stability for critical oilfield operations.
Enables a greener and more sustainable oil and gas industry.
This successful deployment proves that energy storage can play a transformative role in traditional oilfield operations, ensuring energy security while driving sustainability. Moving forward, HyperStrong will continue expanding its ESS solutions across various sectors, integrating advanced AI technologies to accelerate the global transition to clean energy.
