Abstract:
In the context of the China's “dual carbon” goals(carbon peak and carbon neutrality), the low-carbon operation of oil and gas field stations has
become one of the current research hotspots for the green development of oil
companies. An analysis of the energy consumption characteristics during the
operation of oil and gas field stations indicates that the fluctuations in
energy consumption are relatively low, and the energy demand structure is
relatively simple, primarily consisting of electricity and heat resources.
Integrating the current promotion for industrial application of low-carbon technologies and the emerging trends in low-carbon technologies, it is suggested that the key
to achieving low-carbon
operation in oil and gas field stations lies in optimizing the energy
structure. Taking into account the unique characteristics of new energy
resources in different oil and gas fields, it is important to fully utilize
renewable energy such as solar energy, wind energy, as well as recovery of
waste heat and residual pressure as supplementary energy sources. Additionally,
the development of new low-carbon
technologies, such as hydrogen energy and zero-carbon
methanol internal combustion engines should continue. At the same time, the
integration of information technologies like big data and artificial
intelligence is crucial for building an intelligent energy management system
for oil and gas fields. This system could effectively utilize the new energy
advantages of the region. The research findings can provide technical support
for the low-carbon development of
oil and gas field operation.
