A first-to-market hybrid solution, the Cat® Land Drilling Energy Storage System (ESS) pairs natural gas generators with a robust battery storage system — helping drillers meet emissions-reduction targets, capture and use flare gas, and lower operating costs. How exactly does ESS work and how are these hybrid rigs performing? Chris Berrie, drilling account manager for Caterpillar Oil & Gas, answers these questions and more in this episode of the Cat Power Podcast. Tune in to hear about Caterpillar’s long history in the energy storage space, insights into the Microgrid Master Controller (the brains behind the system), the simplicity of in-the-field installation and results from a Wyoming rig with more than 12,000 hours of operation.
