As oil and natural gas development continues to expand across Argentina, reliable onsite power has become increasingly important for daily operations, temporary projects, and critical infrastructure, particularly in remote oilfields and gas facilities where grid access is limited or unavailable.
To better support local customers in the energy sector, ROYPOW has partnered with Grupo Ferdam, a leading Argentine company specializing in the manufacture, sales, rental, and technical service of generator sets and diesel engines for industrial and commercial applications.
Together, ROYPOW and Grupo Ferdam have introduced the PC15KT mobile energy storage system (ESS) for multiple oil and gas field applications in Argentina. These projects demonstrate how PC15KT mobile ESS solutions can reduce fuel consumption, lower operating costs, and minimize emissions while improving operational flexibility in demanding off-grid environments.
Case 1: Emergency Power Support for Oilfield Hydraulic Testing
Challenge
A customer operating in an oilfield in Argentina urgently contacted Grupo Ferdam on a Friday evening after their diesel generator unexpectedly failed onsite. The operation required immediate restoration of power by Saturday morning to continue hydraulic pipeline testing using high-pressure cleaning equipment. Any delay would have resulted in significant disruption to field operations.
Solution
After quickly assessing the load requirements, Grupo Ferdam recommended the ROYPOW PC15KT mobile ESS as an emergency power solution. The system was rapidly deployed and installed onsite, eliminating the need for generator transportation and heavy lifting, and ensuring immediate power recovery.
Result
At the site, the PC15KT system operated stably for approximately 8 hours, consuming only around 50% of its battery capacity while successfully supporting the full hydraulic testing process. The operation was completed on schedule without downtime.
Compared with traditional diesel generator deployment, the solution significantly reduced logistics complexity by eliminating fuel transportation and equipment relocation, while also providing a more cost- effective alternative. The customer was highly satisfied with the reliability and responsiveness of the solution.
Case 2: Hybrid Power Support for Natural Gas Field Operations
Challenge
At a natural gas field entrance station in Vaca Muerta, continuous and stable power was required for daily operations. With no grid access, the site relied entirely on a 20kVA diesel generator to support access control systems, office facilities, air conditioning at selected sites, and water pumps for sanitary infrastructure. High fuel consumption and continuous generator operation created increasing cost pressure.
Solution
To improve energy efficiency, Grupo Ferdam deployed the ROYPOW PC15KT mobile ESS alongside the existing diesel generator to form a hybrid power system. The ESS acted as a load support and energy buffer, helping optimize generator runtime based on real-time demand and reducing unnecessary generator operation.
Result
The hybrid power system significantly reduced generator runtime, resulting in lower fuel consumption, reduced maintenance requirements, and lower operating costs. It also enhanced power reliability for all critical onsite applications while delivering a cleaner and quieter energy solution compared with diesel-only operation.
In addition, the mobile design of the PC15KT system enabled fast deployment and flexible onsite relocation. Remote monitoring via a mobile application provided real-time operational visibility, while GPS-based tracking enhanced equipment security and supported remote asset management across distributed field operations.
Empowering the Future of the Oil & Gas Industry with ROYPOW
The successful deployment of the ROYPOW PC15KT mobile energy storage system demonstrates a practical pathway to strengthening energy resilience across Argentina’s oil and gas sector, particularly in remote and off-grid operations where diesel dependency remains high.
By reducing fuel consumption and emissions while maintaining operational stability, the solution helps advance the industry toward more efficient, flexible, and lower-carbon onsite power models, delivering long-term economic value for demanding field environments.
