U.S. shale producer Devon Energy Inc. will integrate renewable energy into the operations of its Stateline field located in the Delaware Basin within the Permian.

Omnia Midstream Partners LLC, which announced the project on Feb. 28, said in the release it had worked with Devon to integrate emissions-reducing renewable energy and battery storage into its power supply to supplement a highly dynamic upstream and midstream power demand.

“Renewables can drive responsible growth in the traditional energy sector,” Chad Cagle, Omnia’s co-founder, commented in the release. “Our approach combines experience, data analytics and renewable technologies to deliver sustainable energy transformations for oil and gas companies.”

Based in Tulsa, Okla., Omnia Midstream is an energy solutions developer and adviser that specializes in creating sustainable environmental solutions for upstream and midstream energy operations. In the release, Cagle also pointed out the tremendous backlogs of large-scale renewable projects seeking interconnection agreements with various utilities.

“By focusing on our client’s specific, smaller-scale, operational needs downstream of the utility meter,” he continued, “we can quickly implement a solar and battery solution to improve reliability, runtime, reduce operating costs and most importantly reduce carbon footprint without the lengthy approval process necessary for larger scale projects.”

Omnia’s project with Devon Energy integrates the latest photovoltaic and battery technologies into the company’s upstream oil and gas operations to reduce emissions and improve efficiency across the business. Design of the project incorporates American made solar panels, inverters and battery storage to support dynamic power demand on the company’s private electric grid.

Moreover, the company added that the design incorporates data generated from Devon’s existing platforms, then utilizes predictive analytics and insights to ensure that the renewable energy is being put to efficient use; lowering costs and providing a competitive advantage for future growth.
