Backup batteries for Oil & Gas industry
27 Aug 2021
Oil provides one-third of the world’s energy supply. Natural gas brings it up to over 50 percent. Modern economy would collapse without ongoing production to keep up with the demand. Petroleum products and natural gas account for 99.99% of powered transportation around the globe. The oil and gas industry works in some of the most challenging places on the Earth, in extreme weather, harsh conditions and remote locations. Battery packs used in this industry have to be able to operate reliably and efficiently in such an environment, thereby posing unique challenges to battery pack design and build requirements. Therefore, the ideal battery must combine high performance, total reliability and low maintenance requirements.
The requirements of backup batteries for Oil Gas Offshore Onshore:
Battery types: Lead acid batteries which are maintenance free with extended long battery life can be used in oil and gas industry. Nickel Cadmium pocket type gas recombination battery combines maintenance free operation with flame arresting vent, provide benefits of never need to add water throughout its service life according to manufacturer’s operating conditions. So, NiCd batteries are best suitable in this industry.
Temperature stability: For decades, the oil and gas industry has been using long-life batteries that can operate in extreme temperatures, from +220°C to -50°C, in the deepest subsea, and are safe in potentially inflammable and explosive environments. Battery packs used in the down hole oil gas industry have to be able to withstand very high temperatures. This is an incredibly punishing environment where temperatures can often spike at 200°C.
With oil and gas fields often found in some of the coldest regions of the planet, set-up temperatures at the surface can often be as low as minus 40°C.
EverExceed Lead Acid NiCd batteries are sustainable in wide operating temperature range excellent deep cycle performance.
Maintenance-free: Maintenance-free batteries are ideal for use in harsh operating environments like oil and gas industry, as well as remote locations where the lack of infrastructure. EverExceed SPL Ultra-Low Maintenance Gas Recombination Range NiCd Battery has a long service life more than 20 years under intelligent use, never lose efficiency during service life.
Sustainability in harsh environment: Offshore Onshore oil and gas drilling rigs are frequently located in remote locations and cannot easily, if at all, access the power grid. A clean, reliable and efficient power supply is critical.
EverExceed has developed an innovative energy storage system with a focus of reducing power consumption and interruption in the hardest environments. EverExceed Modular Plus High Rate Max VRLA Battery have good adaptability under harsh environmental conditions.
Safety: Safety is crucial when working around oil and gas. But using a heavy duty Lead Acid or NiCd battery with world class design, manufacture and construction is of ultimate importance to reduce the risk of accidental fire or explosion.
EverExceed Modular Plus High Rate Max VRLA Battery have reinforced special high temperature resistant ABS container and cover. In the other hand SPL NiCd battery has excellent resistance to mechanical and electrical abuse no sudden death risk.
EverExceed's different range of robust battery solutions are used by customers around the world to meet the complex demands of the oil and gas industry. Our robust and high performance Lead Acid and Ni-Cd battery solutions offer low to no maintenance and a long service life of over 20 years, even when operating in harsh environments and high ambient temperatures.
