Applications – Where Electric Fracturing Shines

Our electric fracturing equipment is deployed in the most demanding, high‑volume operations – and increasingly in locations where noise and emissions are restricted.

• Deep shale gas (Sichuan Basin, Longmaxi Formation) – 3,500–4,500m depth, 120–140 MPa fracturing pressure, multi‑stage plug‑and‑perf completions. Our electric spreads have set single‑well stage records here.

• Tight gas sandstone (Ordos Basin, Tarim Basin) – high pressure, abrasive proppant, long horizontals.

• Low‑carbon oilfield development – operators seeking to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions.

• Urban or residential‑adjacent fracturing – noise reduction allows night operations near communities.

• Offshore platform stimulation – zero emissions and smaller footprint are critical on platforms.

• Refracturing of existing wells – often lower pressure but high sand volume; electric economics still work.

• Geothermal well stimulation – deep, high‑temperature, often grid‑connected.

Why Choose SJ Petro for Electric Fracturing Equipment?

Because we pioneered electric fracturing in the world’s largest shale gas market – and we’ve learned what works (and what doesn’t).

Your Concern	SJ Petro’s Answer
"Is electric really ready for the field, or is it still experimental?”	We’ve been building electric fracturing units since the early 2010s. Our SCF8000 units have accumulated tens of thousands of pumping hours in commercial shale gas operations – not pilot projects.
"What if we don’t have grid power on our pad?”	Mobile substations + generators. We’ve supplied hybrid and fully self‑contained electric spreads for remote locations.
"Can I retrofit my existing diesel pumps to electric?”	Yes. We offer electric drive retrofit kits for QPA2500 quintuplex pumps – motor, VFD, and controls. Saves the cost of new pumps.
"How do I train my crew on electric?”	Electric is simpler to operate than diesel – fewer moving parts, fewer mechanical surprises. We provide on‑site training and digital manuals.
"What about maintenance of high‑voltage components?”	We design for serviceability. All high‑voltage connections are accessible, and we provide full schematics. Many components (VFDs, transformers) are industry‑standard.

More reasons operators trust SJ Petro for electric fracturing:

• Proven track record – our electric fleets have set national records for single‑well stage counts (over 50 stages in one well) and total pumping hours.

• Manufacturing champion – we’ve received three national "manufacturing champion” awards for fracturing equipment.

• API 7K certified – our pumps meet the international standard for drilling and well servicing equipment.

• In‑house manufacturing – pumps, fluid ends, and high‑pressure manifolds all built under one roof.

• Turnkey integration – we supply everything from the substation to the wellhead manifold. No third‑party compatibility issues.

• Global spare parts support – we maintain inventory for rapid shipment anywhere.

• Export experience – electric fracturing units delivered to Russia, Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Electric Fracturing Equipment

Q1: How does electric fracturing compare to diesel in terms of performance?

A: Electric performance is equal or better. Electric motors provide full torque from zero RPM (no spool‑up lag), respond faster to rate changes, and maintain pressure more precisely. The limitation is not the motor – it’s the fluid end and the formation. For high‑pressure, high‑rate fracturing, electric is now the preferred choice among many large operators.

Q2: What is the power requirement for your SCF8000 unit?

A: At full 8,000 HP output (continuous), the SCF8000 draws approximately 6 MW of electrical power at 6–10 kV. For a typical 40,000 HP spread of five SCF8000 units, you need approximately 30 MW of available power – either from grid or a dedicated generator station.

Q3: Can I run your electric frac units on a generator instead of grid?

A: Yes. We’ve supplied electric spreads powered by mobile gas turbine generators (e.g., Solar Turbines) and diesel generator sets. The electric drive system accepts power from any stable source. The economics shift – fuel cost for the generator is higher than grid power – but it’s often still lower than running diesel pumps directly.

Q4: What is the typical cost saving with electric fracturing?

A: In a large shale gas project with grid power, operators report 30–50% lower fuel+maintenance costs per stage compared to diesel. The exact saving depends on local electricity prices, diesel prices, and pumping hours. We provide a free total‑cost‑of‑ownership (TCO) analysis with your quote.

Q5: How long does it take to recoup the higher upfront cost of electric?

A: For a 40,000 HP spread running 5,000–10,000 pumping hours per year, payback is typically 12–24 months. After that, the savings are pure profit (or lower operating cost). For smaller operations or fewer pumping hours, diesel may still make financial sense – we’ll tell you honestly.

Q6: Do your electric units have the same fluid end as your diesel QPA2500 pumps?

A: The SCF8000 and SCF5000 use a heavier‑duty fluid end designed for 175 MPa operation – it’s not the same as the QPA2500, but the serviceable components (valves, seats, packing, plungers) are similar in design and maintenance approach.

Q7: Can I get a hybrid system – electric primary with diesel backup?

A: Yes. Many operators run a hybrid spread: 80% electric pumps, plus 2–3 diesel pumps as backup or for over‑demand. The control system seamlessly integrates both. This is a good transition strategy if you’re not ready to go all‑electric.

Q8: What’s the lead time for an SCF8000 electric fracturing unit?

A: Standard lead time is 6–8 months from order confirmation. Custom configurations (e.g., Arctic package, different voltage) may add 2–3 months. For urgent projects, expedited delivery may be available – contact us.

Q9: Do you provide training for electric fracturing operations?

A: Yes. We provide:

• On‑site training during commissioning (1–2 weeks)

• Classroom training at our facility in Jingzhou, China (for supervisors and maintenance leads)

• Digital operation and maintenance manuals

• Remote video support during initial jobs

Q10: What is the warranty on electric fracturing equipment?

A: 12 months after commissioning or 18 months after shipment – whichever occurs first. The warranty covers manufacturing defects. Wear parts (valves, seats, packing, plungers) are not covered but are stocked as spares. Extended warranty available.

Q11: Can you supply a complete electric fracturing spread (pumps, blender, van, iron)?

A: Yes. We’ve delivered multiple complete electric spreads to shale gas operators. This is our core offering. One purchase order, one project manager, one warranty.

Q12: Do you have used or refurbished electric fracturing units for sale?

A: Occasionally. As operators upgrade from first‑generation electric units to newer models, some become available. Contact our sales team for current inventory.

Q13: How does your electric fracturing equipment price compare to competitors (e.g., Halliburton, NOV, Schlumberger)?

A: We are typically 15–25% lower for equivalent electric specifications (same HP, same pressure, same level of automation). The gap is smaller than with diesel units because high‑voltage components are more globally priced, but our volume manufacturing and Sinopec backing give us an edge. We’re happy to provide a side‑by‑side comparison.

Q14: Is electric fracturing suitable for offshore platforms?

A: Yes – and in many ways it’s ideal. Zero emissions, quieter operation (better for crew and marine life), and the smaller footprint of high‑density SCF8000 units are all advantages. We can provide offshore‑certified versions (DNV, ABS) with corrosion protection.
