EnQuest Energy Solutions has announced the launch of THOR, the fully electric, zero-emissions fracturing pump solution. THOR was developed in collaboration with fracturing service providers and partnered suppliers to improve fracturing efficiency, reduce operational costs and achieve ESG targets, Enquest said in a press release on Feb. 22.

THOR offers significant advantages over conventional diesel systems in both performance and sustainability. The 5,000-horsepower unit cuts the number of needed pumps in half, making THOR perfect for Simulfrac operations. It’s also able to fit on a single three axle trailer with removable booster axle–as opposed to more typical four or five axle configurations—making for easier maneuvering on-site.

The EnQuest team engineered THOR with safety and ease of maintenance top of mind. Its 13.8 KV input power cuts down on cable size and weight, making it easier and safer to rig up in the field. And with no transmission and a 40,000-hour bearing life Hitachi motor, THOR requires less maintenance than the competition.

“The oil and gas industry continues to push the limits of fracturing efficiency with a tight focus on equipment that has the lowest emissions footprint, and we’re happy to help our customers meet that need,” said Jamie Stewart, President of EnQuest. “Of course, sustainability has to be accompanied by reliability, and we can confidently say THOR readily checks both those boxes.”
