Factors Influencing the Enhancement of Energy Efficiency in the Oil and Gas Industry

Abstract

In Romania, major focus and interest are currently expressed for the energy strategies domain. The increase of the energetic efficiency is therefore a main concern for the authorities. In the current paper the main factors which are leading to the increase of this energetic efficiency are highlighted. These are: CHP (Combined Heat Power), combined cycles, the use of RER (reusable energy resources). The article also contains a classification of the RES (secondary energy resources) as function of the thermodynamic agent nature and/or its thermodynamic state. The theory and concepts are strengthened with relevant examples which have direct applicability in the oil and gas industry.
