Energy Initiatives
Youngquist Brothers is a forward thinking company. We are constantly considering
the challenges that will be coming in the future and how to get ahead of the curve.
One such way in which YBI has focused on the future is in our constant commitment
to reducing our fossil fuel consumption and minimizing our carbon foot print.
In the most direct way possible, YBI committed itself to this challenge by building
the E-Rig Series of deep injection well drilling rigs.
The new E-Rigs have enable Youngquist Brothers to reduce our fossil fuel consumption
by up to 90%. We have also been able to reduce the amount of fuel stored on site
by as much as 95%.
In addition to the E-rigs, the entire mud system, air compressors, and other support
equipment was also converted to electric power.
By reducing our consumption and storage needs on site, YBI has been able to greatly
reduce the risk of accidental leaks and/or spills on environmentally sensitive projects.
