Petrochemical oilfield services energy storage

What is the energy consumption in oilfields?

The energy consumption in oilfields is relatively high, except for the drilling, energy is required for crude oil transport, acid gas treatment, and gas dehydration. However, with the low level of energy management strategy in some of the oilfields, the energy utilisation efficiency has great potential to be improved.

Is oil and gas transport and storage engineering entering a new era?

Conclusions and Future Directions With the fast development of low-carbon and sustainable measures implemented in oil and gas transport and storage engineering, this industry is entering a new era.

Can electric energy storage be used for drilling based on electric-chemical generators?

The article outlines development of an electric energy storage system for drilling based on electric-chemical generators. Description and generalization are given for the main objectives for this system when used on drilling rigs isolated within a single pad, whether these are fed from diesel gensets, gas piston power plants, or 6–10 kV HV lines.

How can the oil and gas industry achieve a green and sustainable supply chain?

The commonly used measures, such as reducing transport costs and improving efficiency for optimising the oil and gas supply chain, can contribute to energy-saving and emission reduction. The implementation of standardisation and resource sharing also helps the oil and gas industry to target a green and sustainable supply chain. 4.1.

Are oil and gas fields a geothermal resource?

One study in Italy showed that the geothermal potential of selected oil and gas fields is encouraging [ 66 ]. Some cases convert oil extraction sites to geothermal plants; one example is Soultz-sous-Forêts [ 67 ]. Singh et al. [ 68] developed a field-scale hydro-thermal model to study the heat extraction potential of Soultz-sous-Forêts.

Which rigs have energy storage systems for onshore drilling?

The energy storage system developed for onshore drilling is among the world’s first ones. As a foreign analog, only the project of the German rig manufacturer Bentec implemented in Oman can be highlighted. In 2017, the container-type 0.9 MW Bentec ESS with a storage capacity of 0.3 MW was put into trial operation on the KCA Deuteg T-94 rig.
