Rig Power Challenges

Modern drilling rigs rely on increasingly complex electrical power systems, where multiple drives, switchboards and auxiliary consumers must operate as one. Every gap between them adds commissioning delay and downtime risk.

Without a fully integrated power control room:

  • Multi-vendor integration increases project complexity
  • Commissioning and troubleshooting become time-consuming
  • Downtime and operational risk increase
  • Maintenance and lifecycle costs become more difficult to manage

Operators and contractors face growing pressure to:

  • Reduce downtime and commissioning delays
  • Improve power system reliability and visibility
  • Simplify integration across multiple systems
  • Maintain compliance, safety and lifecycle performance

Why BENTEC?

More integration. More reliability. More control.

We engineer and factory-test the BENTEC Power Control Room (PCR) to centralise drilling rig power distribution, drive systems and protection architecture in one controlled environment. Unlike conventional site-assembled power rooms, the PCR arrives pre-assembled, pre-tested and ready for installation, significantly reducing integration complexity, commissioning time and operational risk.

The BENTEC Power Control Room combines:

  • Fully integrated VFD, SCR, MCC and protection systems
  • Centralised monitoring, power management and protection
  • ISO-containerised modular design for easier transport and rig integration
  • Integrated HVAC-controlled environment
  • Plug-and-play external connections

Factory-tested prior to delivery for predictable start-up performance.

Our flexible architecture supports rig upgrades and future electrification projects, so the PCR can evolve with your operational requirements.

Key benefits

Designed to Deliver

Reduced downtime

Integrated power control architecture improves system reliability and simplifies fault management.

Faster commissioning

Each PCR is factory-tested before delivery, reducing on-site installation and commissioning effort.

Simplified integration

Single-source engineering reduces multi-vendor interfaces and project complexity.

Improved operational control

Centralised monitoring and protection give greater visibility across rig power systems.

Flexible & future-ready

Modular architecture supports rig upgrades, electrification and evolving operational requirements.

Lower lifecycle risk

Standardised design improves maintainability, serviceability and long-term asset value.

“Our previous power room was assembled on site, and every vendor interface added time to commissioning. The BENTEC PCR arrived factory-tested and ready to connect, and with the drives, MCCs and protection in one container, our team now troubleshoots from one place.”

FAQs

  • It is the engineered environment that centralises a drilling rig’s electrical power distribution and control systems. Our PCR houses VFDs, SCRs, MCCs, switchgear and protection systems in one modular container.
