Electric power plan aims to cut oil field costs at Sisterville
A proposed electric driven system would circulate coolant through water tubes and smoke tubes in a boiler to improve fuel economy. Each oil well would receive power from a central plant via a single circuit, slashing water line and fuel hauling costs and potentially lowering well construction to about 2500 dollars. The plan, targeting a plant by October in Sisterville, envisions 20 wells per circuit and strong efficiency gains in pumping fields.
