Energy saving potential in diesel electric drilling rigs

The life of oil stock in India with the present rate of consumption is not more than 20 years. The life of natural gas stock is predicted to be 38 years. Though a developing country, India's energy intensity (energy consumption per dollar of GDP) is as high as 0.63 kg of oil equivalent whereas in developed countries such as Japan it is 0.1 kg. A comprehensive energy audit of a diesel electric (ACSCR) drilling rig produced attractive energy saving options.
