Digital-Intelligent Green Energy Drilling Rig

Digital-Intelligent Green Energy Drilling Rig

SJ Petroleum Machinery Co., Ltd., a wholly‑owned subsidiary of Sinopec Oilfield Equipment Corporation, engineers and manufactures advanced land & offshore drilling solutions. We provide integrated, fit‑for‑purpose equipment backed by decades of field experience.

Full‑Fleet Automation & Remote Operation:Our Digital Drilling Controller automates routine sequences: pipe make‑up/break‑out, stand building, auto‑driller, and slip handling. With optional remote operation kit, a single driller can supervise three rigs from an office 200 km away – game‑changing for night shifts, high‑risk zones, or crew shortage scenarios. All actions are logged for post‑shift analysis and regulatory reporting.

Energy‑Recovering Drawworks & Low‑Loss Drivetrain:A permanent‑magnet motor on the drawworks regenerates braking energy back to the DC bus or storage. Compared to traditional resistor‑grid braking, this energy recovery reduces total energy consumption while lowering heat dissipation inside the rig skid. Combined with high‑efficiency IGBT converters, the rig achieves a system efficiency > 92% across the power chain – far exceeding typical diesel‑mechanical or old SCR electric rigs.

Each series can be ordered as:

  • Land skid‑mounted (rapid move)

  • Trailer‑mounted (road legal)

  • Platform‑modular (for offshore or restricted deck space)

All configurations support optional remote operation center (ROC) and full API/ISO documentation package for international tenders.

Application Areas

[Insert Product Image 04: Rig working in desert with solar panels alongside camp]

Because of its low emissions, quiet operation, and digital efficiency, this green intelligent drilling rig fits demanding environments where conventional rigs struggle.

✅ Eco‑sensitive & urban‑fringe drilling – near residential areas, national parks, wetlands, or farmland. Reduced vibration, no black smoke, and significantly lower noise.

✅ Shale gas & tight oil fields – high‑density pad drilling with frequent moves. The energy storage captures braking energy during repetitive trips, directly lowering pad‑wide fuel bills.

✅ Remote off‑grid exploration – solar‑assisted hybrid mode extends diesel refill intervals from 7 days to 14–20 days, cutting logistics cost and carbon footprint.

✅ International projects with carbon reporting – real‑time CO₂ monitoring built into the control system. Ideal for operators needing verified emissions data for ESG reports or carbon taxes.

✅ High‑altitude or extreme climate drilling – the electric drivetrain maintains full torque without derating, unlike mechanical rigs that lose power above 2000m altitude.

Our rigs are already active in Sichuan Basin (China), West Qurna (Iraq), Neuquén (Argentina) and have been exported to Kazakhstan, Indonesia, and Nigeria – proving reliability from -20°C winters to 50°C desert summers.

Why Choose SJ Petroleum Machinery Co., Ltd.?

1. Backed by Sinopec Engineering DNA
We are not a trading company. Our parent designs and operates thousands of wells each year. That operational insight is built into every digital green rig – we know what real drillers need, not just textbook specs.

2. China’s First‑Mover in Intelligent Green Rigs
While many manufacturers talk about "green” concepts, we have delivered and commissioned full‑scale digital‑intelligent hybrid rigs since 2021. Proven uptime >97%, measured fuel savings, and remote operation already approved by national oil companies.

3. True Customization, Not Just Bolt‑Ons
Need a larger battery bank? Want to integrate your own proprietary drilling optimization software? Require ATEX Zone 1 cert? We adapt. Our engineering team treats each rig as a unique project – no cookie‑cutter approach.

4. Transparent Lifecycle Support
We provide: factory and on‑site training · digital twin updates · predictive maintenance alerts · 24/7 remote diagnostics · 10‑year spare parts guarantee (subject to agreement). You drill, we stay on the line.

5. Cost‑Competitive vs. Western Automations
Our solution delivers automation levels comparable to major Western suppliers at 30–40% lower upfront investment, without compromising on quality (Caterpillar/MTU engines, Siemens drives, own high‑grade steel structures). Lower operating costs further improve your ROI.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How much fuel (and CO₂) can I realistically save?
Independent field tests on DIGR-4000 show 22–31% diesel reduction compared to a conventional AC rig drilling the same well in the same formation. CO₂ per meter drilled decreases proportionally. The exact saving depends on your cycling frequency (trip hours vs. drilling hours) and local grid availability.

Q2: Can the rig run 100% on battery for short periods?
Yes. With the optional extended energy storage package (1.5 MWh), the rig can drill a full stand, perform a connection cycle, or circulate while making up tools – all on stored energy, with zero exhaust emissions. This is especially valuable for night work in urban zones or for meeting temporary emission‑free mandates.

Q3: Is remote operation reliable in areas with poor internet?
Our remote system uses adaptive bandwidth protocols – it works on 4G, satellite (Starlink/Ku), or radio links. In case of disconnection, the rig automatically falls back to local autonomous control and alerts the driller. No sudden stops or safety risks.

Q4: What if my crew is not familiar with digital controls?
A standard two‑week training program at our facility (or on‑site) covers everything from basic navigation to advanced AI‑assisted drilling. Our HMI is designed with drillers, not software engineers – color‑coded maps, large buttons, and voice alerts in multiple languages (English, Spanish, Arabic, Russian). A simulator is also available for pre‑deployment practice.

Q5: How does the digital twin help me reduce downtime?
The twin learns normal vibration, temperature, and current signatures. When a pump bearing or motor insulation starts to degrade, the system flags "Replace bearing in 120 running hours – part #XYZ.” You order the part in advance and schedule a convenient maintenance window. No surprises, no days lost to unexpected component failure.

Q6: Can I retrofit this green‑intelligent system to my existing rig?
We offer retrofit packages for older SCR or mechanical rigs: add energy storage, install edge controllers, automation sensors, and a remote portal. Less expensive than a full new rig, and you still get 50–70% of the fuel and emission benefits. Contact our retrofit team with your rig make and model.

Q7: What certifications do you provide for international bidding?
We supply full API 4F, API 7K, API 8C (as applicable), ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, and CE or GOST‑K as per destination. Third‑party inspection by DNV, ABS, or SGS is welcome – we already work with all major classification societies.

Q8: What is the typical delivery lead time?
For a standard DIGR-3000 with battery storage: 10–12 months from order to factory acceptance test (FAT). Expedited option (+15% cost) can reduce to 8 months. Retrofits: 5–7 months depending on scope.
