Oil & Gas Operators
Electricity is a significant and often mismanaged cost center for oilfield operators. High-demand equipment, 24/7 runtime, and complex rate structures create exposure that most operators don't have dedicated resources to address.
Red Shield works directly with field operations and oilfield service companies to assess current contracts, run competitive supplier bids, and identify demand charge or rate classification issues that are quietly adding cost.
We operate primarily in ERCOT — one of the most competitive and volatile power markets in the country — and understand how to structure contracts that match the operational realities of field-level electricity use.
Energy Procurement
We solicit bids from multiple vetted retail electricity providers and present a clear comparison — fixed-rate, index, or hybrid structures — based on your load profile and risk tolerance.
Contract & Rate Review
A review of existing contracts and utility classifications to identify misaligned terms, demand charge exposure, tax exemptions, or billing errors that may be adding unnecessary cost.
Demand Charge Analysis
For high-draw equipment, we analyze peak demand patterns and identify strategies to reduce demand charges — one of the most significant and controllable cost drivers for oilfield loads.
Ongoing Advisory
Market conditions in ERCOT shift. We monitor forward pricing and contract expiration timelines to ensure you're not defaulting to uncompetitive rates at renewal.
Field operations, SWD facilities, and oilfield service companies run some of the highest electricity loads in any industry. We help operators manage that exposure — through competitive procurement, contract analysis, and demand cost reduction.
