From first drill to final plug: Temporary power for the entire O&G lifecycle

Introduction

In today’s oil and gas industry, operational flexibility is more important than ever. Whetherexploring new fields, drilling, producing or decommissioning assets, energy needs varysignificantly throughout the lifecycle of a project. Investing in permanent infrastructure tooearly can lock operators into costly, inflexible systems.That’s why Aggreko delivers modular, temporary energy solutions that evolve with yourproject. Our power, cooling and heating packages are designed to adapt from day one—nomatter how remote or complex the environment.

Exploration: powering the unknown

Exploration often takes place far from existing infrastructure. Our mobile units provide powerfor:

  • Exploratory drilling rigs
  • Camp accommodation and facilities
  • Communication and safety systems 

With no need for heavy civil works, we help you reduce time to first drill while keeping yourworkforce supported.

Construction & Commissioning: a safe start

We ensure your assets are safely energised and tested before going live:

  • Temporary mini-grids for site development
  • Loadbanks for commissioning and testing
  • High-voltage generators and transformers

Drilling: stable energy and cooling performance

Drilling operations require consistent power and temperature control to maintain performanceand safety. Aggreko supports:

  • Onshore and offshore drilling rigs
  • Mud cooling systems
  • Hybrid diesel/gas solutions to lower fuel use and emissions

Production: scaling with you 

During early production, flexibility is essential. Whether you're bridging to the grid or supplementing local power, Aggreko provides:

  • Temporary power for Early Production Facilities (EPFs)
  • Grid synchronisation and load sharing
  • Redundancy power to avoid unplanned downtime

Decommissioning: managing the final phase 

Even as production winds down, energy remains critical. From cold stacking to full decommissioning, we support:

  • Power for plug and abandonment (P&A)
  • HVAC and dehumidification for rig preservation【22†source】
  • Emissions reduction during shutdown

Seamless integration and support

Aggreko offers full project lifecycle management, including:

  • Remote monitoring and performance diagnostics
  • Turnkey installation and maintenance
  • Compliance with EU safety and environmental standards
     

Conclusion

Energy needs evolve. So should your power partner. With Aggreko, you gain the freedom to scale up, adapt, or move on without delay or unnecessary investment.
