Researching the possibilities of energy efficiency improvement by using energy resources potentials examplified by Oil Industry of Serbia-Naftagas

This project is aimed both to researching exploration possibilities of still undeveloped energy potentials of Oil Industry of Serbia – Naftagas and applying different technologies for the purpose of more rational energy consumption during production process. A model is formed for integral comprehension of energy, ecological and economical work parameters within the company production units. The focus is given to the analysis of the gas associated within oil reservoirs, the gas from small gas reservoirs and geothermal energy. A thorough analysis is carried out covering feasible technologies aimed to increase the efficiency in production potential as well as reduction in energy consumption. Consideration is also given to various technologies used in electric power production and/or heat, utilization of geothermal energy, application of new pipelines materials and application of electro-motor drive frequency control. Particular attention is given to designing of a burner adaptable for the usage of gas with high CO2 content. A criterion model is formed for selection of optimum technologies and locations for the application of the same. On the grounds of the results obtained, the studies on preliminary designs are elaborated offering the following possibilities of using still undeveloped energy potentials. Some of the relevant technologies are tested at pilot plants.
