Claim 4:
5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
obtaining power production and fuel consumption data of a second piece of rig equipment, wherein the second piece of rig equipment is part of a drilling rig and is different than the first piece of rig equipment, and wherein the second piece of rig equipment is operated according to a second set of operational parameters;
feeding the power production and fuel consumption data of the second piece of rig equipment into a real-time monitoring system;
determining an energy efficiency, based on real-time performance, of the second piece of rig equipment using the consumption efficiency model, wherein the consumption efficiency model comprising unique algorithms and equations for each of the first piece of rig equipment and second piece of rig equipment;
determining a target energy efficiency value based on an average energy efficiency at the second set of operational parameters using historical data of the second piece of rig equipment;
comparing the energy efficiency of the second piece of rig equipment against the target energy efficiency value of the second piece of rig equipment by a real-time database monitoring system;
updating the historical data of the second piece of rig equipment with the energy efficiency;
identifying deficiencies of the second piece of rig equipment in real-time and determining maintenance or replacement of the second piece of rig equipment based on the comparison of the energy efficiency to the target energy efficiency of the second piece of rig equipment; and
performing maintenance on or replacement of the second piece of rig equipment upon identifying a deficiency.
