Offshore Gas Compression Energy usage
Offshore Gas Compression Energy usage
(OP)
I have been asked to carry out an energy assessment of an offshore platform in the southern north sea.
Although I have looked everywhere I can’t seem to find the industry standard for a compression plant of the following value; the amount of energy used in transporting and processing the reservoir fluids over the energy value of the exported product (%).
Can anyone point me in the right direction to finding this answer or happen to know it off the top of their heads??
Thank you for you help!

RE: Offshore Gas Compression Energy usage
I suspect that the energy value of the transported product is vastly greater than the energy usage in transporting and processing, so the ratio may not be very meaningful..
But I might be suprised, I certainly have been before...

It's a massive amount of energy when you think about it!
