Exploration and Production Unit
Electricity costs make up a large portion of the operating expenses of oil producing enterprises. Therefore, energy efficiency and cost optimisation are among the priority objectives of the Exploration and Production Unit enterprises. Energy conservation measures carried out by the Exploration and Production Unit enterprises aim to reduce the proportion of power consumption in the overall cost structure for output
A key energy efficiency indicator at Exploration and Production Unit enterprises is the specific consumption of electricity for the production of liquid hydrocarbons. In
In 2014, more than 70 energy conservation measures were implemented. the most significant measures included:
- the import substitution of electric centrifugal pumps
- the introduction of permanent magnet motors
- the optimisation of submersible equipment modes
- the optimisation of pump operations at cluster and booster pump stations and initial water separation units
- the decommissioning of unprofitable wells
- a reduction in power losses in networks
