Carbon Emissions from Oilfield Central Treatment Station:A Calculation and Synopsis
Situated at the center of the oilfield collection and transportation system,the central treatment station encompasses an extensive and well-coordinated production process of many systems,including oil-water separation,sewage treatment,and crude oil water content analysis.It does,however,also result in significant energy use and significant carbon emissions,either directly or indirectly.This study employs the carbon emission factor approach and the material balance method to calculate,evaluate,and discuss the carbon emission characteristics of the oilfield central treatment station while taking into account the station's production and operating processes.Additionally,comparable emission-and energy-saving methods are suggested for the station's operations.The station's carbon emissions can be decreased by 11.01%by optimizing the processing of crude oil with solar power and other renewable energy utilized.The purpose of this article is to serve as a reference for the oilfield industry in order to facilitate the growth of carbon emission reduction.
