Aspects of Energy Saving of Oil-Producing Enterprises

Abstract

Increasing energy efficiency is included in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by the year 2030. Enhancing energy efficiency is also one of the priority areas for improving the operational efficiency of any oil production enterprise. The energy management system of enterprises has been founded and implemented on the basis of the international standard ISO 50001:2018 and it works successfully. The energy efficiency strategy is formulated in the energy policy and integrated into the business model of the companies. Companies receive significant energy savings in the exploration and production segments through technical, technological, and organizational measures. This article shows the main directions for improving the energy efficiency of the artificial lift well stock and the results of their implementation. The main constraints on the implementation of the energy efficiency policy of oil-producing enterprises have been identified and directions for improvement of energy-saving structure have been proposed. The article proposes strategic-level classification of energy-saving measures, which is based on assessment and comparison of implementation costs, payback period, and takes into account investments into artificial lift technology, therefore allowing investment priorities in the energy management sphere to be distinguished. Advanced directions for investment in oil-production technology have been identified, and an algorithm of development and implementation of key indicators of energy consumption efficiency has been proposed.

Energy Savings in Production Processes as a Key Component of the Global Energy Problem—The Introduction to the Special Issue of Energies

“…The study of algorithms for energy consumption forecasting [11] meets the scope of Industry 4.0 for energy transformation. Analytic and measurement issues for energy transformation are raised in the study on oil producers [12], and both studies focus on district heating companies [13,14]. The last two studies also contribute to strategies and leadership issues.…”

“…Energy saving in the oil production industry is investigated by Midor et al [12]. The study identifies the main constraints on the implementation of the energy efficiency policy in the oil production industry.…”

Increasing Energy Efficiency in Well Drilling

“…As cutting elements of the bit save their workability for a longer time (up to 30%), the less time is required for a bit replacement and pipe makeup-breakout operations. As a result, energy consumption decreases by 10-15% [8]. If we put in a row the next combination of drill bit inserts (Figure 3) [9]:…”

Energy Efficiency Trends in Petroleum Extraction: A Bibliometric Study

“…According to United Nations statistics, higher per capita energy consumption is correlated with improved standard of living, and the widespread adoption of advanced industrial technologies follows suit. Conversely, inefficient energy usage is directly linked to a proportional decline in the national income of a country, leading to a reduction in the overall quality of life [4].…”
