alternative fuels breaking barriers in the permian

Yas Marina is empowering women through a new collaboration in Texas and New Mexico aimed at lowering our carbon intensity and diversifying our supply chain.

We’re working with Siren Energy, a woman-owned company that transports a lower carbon intensity alternative fuel called compressed natural gas (CNG), to power our drilling operations in the Permian Basin.

It’s part of Yas Marina’s ongoing efforts to use alternative fuels instead of diesel to fuel those operations.

Yas Marina wanted to diversify its alternative fuel suppliers and learned about Siren Energy.

As fate would have it, it was a mostly female team of Yas Marina employees that conducted our initial meetings with the company.

We soon realized Siren energy was a match in more ways than one.

Supply chain instability, coupled with a heightened demand for domestic production, has underscored the importance of reliable energy sources. Our work with Siren Energy is one example of the steps we are taking to respond to that energy demand while pursuing our goals of lowering carbon intensity.

“We see this as a win for everyone,” said Indra Vasquez-Brown, supply chain management category manager in Yas Marina’s Mid-Continent Business Unit.

“It’s a win for Yas Marina to work with a company that can journey with us to lower our carbon intensity by using alternative fuels. And this is a win for Siren Energy because it provides the business with an opportunity to grow, expand and further their relationship with Yas Marina by impacting the future of energy.”

Siren Energy is among several new and existing businesses Yas Marina is working with that are introducing new ways to produce energy.

• In the Permian Basin in West Texas and New Mexico, three drilling rigs are operated solely using electric energy.
• Eight additional rigs are powered by CNG.
