Case Study · Technology Scouting
Storing renewable power to replace generators.
A global oil and gas producer wanted alternatives to conventional backup generators in its field operations. We scouted long duration storage technologies across six families and connected it with the most promising companies.
The Client
The client is a major oil and gas company engaged in exploration and production worldwide. It wanted storage paired with renewable power to make field operations more reliable and cleaner.
The Challenge
Generators pollute.
Store power instead.
Prescouter was asked to build a landscape of long duration storage technologies that integrate with renewable power and could replace conventional backup generators in field operations.
-
Reliability
Steady backup power
Keeping field sites running.
-
Footprint
Lower emissions
Cutting environmental impact.
-
Economics
Cost and maturity
CapEx, OpEx and readiness compared.
Our Approach
Comparing six storage families on cost and performance.
Technology profiles
30+technologies identified
Compare the metrics
We compared unit cost, maturity, energy density, duration, response time, efficiency, CapEx and OpEx.
Company outreach
7companies contacted
Talk to vendors
We interviewed established vendors and startups to inform the client’s partnering decisions.
The Outcome
Two companies engaged for collaboration.
Prescouter completed 4 intelligence briefs and identified more than 30 storage technologies, giving technical teams a basis for future field operations. Of the 7 companies contacted, 2 were then engaged by the client for potential collaboration.
