Noise mitigation | Form: (02A ) 401477008 6/1/2018 | Electrified Drilling Rig - Extraction is working with United Power to supply sufficient electrical power for the drilling rig to drill the wells. Easements are being procured from the Landowners and the existing infrastructure is being upgraded in order to handle the larger electrical loads. While Extraction plans on drilling these wells on electrical power only, the rig will have diesel-powered generators in the event of an upset condition with the electrical supply from United Power. At that point, Extraction would use the diesel generators to power the rig until service from United Power was restored. |
