Noise Reduction

As Youngquist Brothers rigs generally work on 24-hour drilling schedules, and more and more projects are being built in residential areas, the challenge of reducing the impacts from noise became a serious concern.

In order to mitigate permitting challenges and complaints from the surrounding neighbors, Youngquist Brothers worked diligently to reduce noise on the rig site.

Youngquist Brothers E-Rigs operate so quietly that neighbors hear little or no noise at all. Drilling crews can easily converse on the working floor while drilling is underway, making for a much safer environment as well. All of this was previously impossible with diesel engines running.

YBI is able to operate the E-Rigs in some areas on a 24 hour schedule, where in some cases a diesel operation would be daylight only, greatly increasing the duration of the project.
