Elaboración de una metodología de gestión energética para campos petroleros en el ecuador basada en la ISO 50001

Abstract

The following paper presents a methodology for the Energy Management in the Ecuadorian petroleum fields based on the ISO standard 50001. ISO 50001 is a systematic process focused on the continuous improvement of the energetic development, sustained on the framework of continuous improvement “plan-do-verify-act”. Based on the data obtained from one of the largest fields in the country, it has been determined that the main energetic components used are diesel (14%), gas (10%), and in this very particular case there is the input of hydroelectric energy (76%): and in some fields there is energy contribution produced with crude oil. In the processes diagram it is evidenced that almost the entirety of the energy used in the process of production is electric energy (>95%) and the totality of this energy, between the 90 and 95% is used for the process of fluid extraction and pumping of water formation. The following equation has been established, which relates the consumption of energy vs the total production of fluid (baseline) 𝒚=0.0035𝑥+1966.8, and 𝑦=0.0161𝑥+996.37 if only the relation between energy consumption vs the production of crude oil is considered. The index of consumption Icc calculated are 16.60 Kwh/Bl of crude oil and 3.72 Kwh/Bl of fluid. Lastly, target baselines are determined to allow savings of energy between 0.6 and 1.8%, and the parameter of Energetic Return EROI is calculated, determining a value of 50.39 for the B57 of the EP Petroecuador.
