Claim 12:
13. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a computer processor, the instructions comprising functionality for:
obtaining power production and fuel consumption data of a first piece of rig equipment, wherein the first piece of rig equipment is operated according to a first set of operational parameters;
feeding the power production and fuel consumption data of the first piece of rig equipment into a real-time monitoring system;
determining an energy efficiency, based on real-time performance, of the first piece of rig equipment using a consumption efficiency model and the power production and fuel consumption data;
determining an optimum energy efficiency value using the consumption efficiency model;
determining a target energy efficiency based on an average energy efficiency at the first set of operational parameters using historical data of the first piece of equipment;
comparing the energy efficiency of the first piece of rig equipment against the target energy efficiency by a real-time database monitoring system;
determining an existing optimum energy efficiency value based on the historical data;
establishing a new optimum energy efficiency value if the optimum energy efficiency value is higher than the existing optimum energy efficiency value;
updating the existing optimum energy efficiency value with the new optimum energy efficiency value for comparing later to real-time values of the first piece of the rig equipment;
updating the historical data of the first piece of rig equipment with the energy efficiency; and
identifying deficiencies of the first piece of rig equipment in real-time and determining maintenance or replacement of the first piece of rig equipment based on the comparison of the energy efficiency to the target energy efficiency,
wherein, upon identifying a deficiency, maintenance or replacement is performed on the first piece of rig equipment.
