LNG America Provides Scandrill LNG for Drilling Operations

Posted

LNG America and Scandrill have signed an agreement to provide Scandrill liquefied natural gas for drilling operations in the Gulf Coast region.

Among Scandrill’s rig fleet are eight bi-fueled units, with the two newest incorporating advanced technologies for optimizing LNG/diesel substitution rates upwards of 60 percent, the company says.

The LNG America-Scandrill relationship will provide operators with the opportunity to drill their prospects with equipment fueled by clean-burning natural gas.

Using LNG as a fuel for drilling and completion operations has been increasing in recent years as a growing number of energy companies seek to lower costs and reduce emissions from their operations.
