In doing so, a site will benefit from lower operating costs and a reduction in CO2-emissions and hydrocarbon releases to the atmosphere. An energy consumption and hydrocarbon losses base line for a site can be established using a Corrected Energy and Loss (CEL) Index methodology. This process also highlights opportunities for improvement within the processing units, off-plots, utilities, and overall energy management. Scope for improvements can be found in the areas of procedures, practices, maintenance, as well as, in the design of the hardware. Areas for loss abatement can range from simple good housekeeping to the installation of hardware, such as, vapour recovery systems. As part of our proprietary Pacesetting Programme, a Shell Energy and Loss (SEAL) Study is used to optimise energy consumption and minimize hydrocarbon losses. The module has proven very successful with more than 10 studies being completed during the last four years, whereby benefits have been identified in the order of US¢15/bbl (on average). Keys for success in realizing the benefits include: full involvement of site personnel, as well as, strong follow-up support during implementation.
