Frac Site Challenges Addressed

MGB’s PowerCELL technology delivers an immediate impact on safety, cost, and emissions.

Field studies prove PowerCELL systems tackle the biggest challenges identified by E&P companies and frac service providers.  Making frac sites safer, lowering CO2, NOX, and particulate matter emissions, and reducing fuel and auxiliary rentals are key benefits documented in Permian, Hayneville, and Marcellus field tests.

The Benefits

  • Safer Conditions

  • Lower Emissions

  • Lower Costs

  • Higher Efficiency

  • Simplified Governance

Solving wellsite challenges with innovative power technology.

Safer Conditions. Restart pumps remotely from outside the high-pressure RED ZONE.

Lower Emissions. Eliminate excess emissions of NOX, CO, CO2, and Particulate Matter without equipment modifications.

Reduce Fuel Consumption. Immediate reduction in fuel consumption with zero capital outlay.

Higher Efficiency. Reduce unplanned idle times by up to 85%.

Simplify Governance. Improved performance monitoring and benchmarking for ESG targets.

PowerCELL Benefits

Remove auxiliary equipment such as tractors and generators.

PowerCELL allows for the remote restarting of pumps for the next stage and the removal of tractors, reducing trips into the high-pressure RED ZONE, improving site layout, and increasing usable space by 30%.

PowerCELL Benefits

Reduce emissions and fuel use due to excessive idling with a patented start/stop system

The reduction in idle times attributed to Start/Stop systems proved lower fuel consumption and emissions generation rates were possible. Idle times have been reduced up to 85%.

PowerCELL Benefits

Lower operating costs with zero CAPEX or equipment modifications

PowerCELL systems are seamlessly added to any existing frac fleet.  No modifications are needed when adding a PowerCELL system to immediately reduce fleet fuel usage and emissions.

Lower operating costs with PowerCELL
Reduce personnel exposure with PowerCELL
PowerCELL Benefits

Reduces personnel exposure within the RED ZONE

Remote start technology allows personnel to stay clear of heat, noise, and rotating equipment.

PowerCELL Benefits

Increased efficiency by restarting all frac pumps in less than five minutes

The PowerCELL system is capable of supporting any size frac spread. This includes simul-frac operations with the largest spread to date of 44 pumps.

The Value of PowerCELL

A scalable, modular solution

Patented PowerCELL technology is a fully scalable solution to address electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic wellsite challenges. The system allows rapid deployment and immediate benefits. It can be used for conventional frac spreads, simul-frac operations, and E-fleets.

  • A 2022 Permian field study documented more than $500,000 in monthly savings on multiple pads.

  • The same Permian field study reported a reduction of 1,500 metric tons in CO2 frac site emissions.

PowerCELL Features

Unique customer-specific packaging options to suit all electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic requirements, with built-in telemetry.

Seamless integration with PowerCELL
PowerCELL Field Integration

The PowerCELL system seamlessly integrates with any frac spread via a simple plug-and-play installation.

Typical field deployments use a daisy chain hydraulic set-up. Full remote capabilities can be achieved allowing frac pumps to be started remotely.

  • No modifications to existing assets are required, including dual-fuel fleets.

  • Hydraulic capabilities can be expanded and include pump-down units.

PowerCELL Field Integration

One technology platform for all your wellsite electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic requirements.

The PowerCELL system does not require additional manpower at the wellsite.
