The oil and gas industry is facing an unprecedented challenge: the electrical grid cannot keep pace with its soaring power demands. As drilling operations expand and electrification accelerates, grid capacity in key regions like the Permian Basin is being stretched to its limits. This imbalance threatens production timelines, operational reliability, and long-term growth. In this episode, we sit down with Caterpillar to explore why power demand is outstripping supply, the implications for oil and gas companies, and the strategies being deployed to bridge the gap. From leveraging natural gas for on-site generation to navigating competition with other industries, we’ll uncover practical solutions and future outlooks. Join us as we discuss how companies can secure resilient power infrastructure and maintain momentum in an increasingly energy-constrained environment.
