Exergy analysis of the oil and gas processing on a North Sea oil platform a real production day

On the definition of exergy efficiencies for petroleum systems: Application to offshore oil and gas processing

“…Several approaches for the exergy efficiencies of petroleum processing systems can be found in the literature [15,17,26,[28][29][30]60]. In addition to the total exergy efficiency, three different task exergy efficiencies are found.…”

“…Oliveira and Van Hombeeck [28] presented an exergy analysis of a Brazilian offshore platform, with another formulation of the exergy efficiency. This formulation was also used by Voldsund et al [29] for a Norwegian offshore platform. Rian and Ertesvåg [30] studied a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant using an exergy efficiency formulated particulary for LNG plants.…”

Oil and gas platforms with steam bottoming cycles: System integration and thermoenvironomic evaluation

“…The first possibility has been investigated in a few works [13][14][15]. They revealed, based on detailed energy-and exergy analyses of the oil and gas processing system, several ways to decrease the total power consumption and exergy destruction.…”

Deep Water Cooled ORC for Offshore Floating Oil Platform Applications

“…Voldsund et al [8] identified exergy losses of four platforms located in the North Sea. Voldsund et al [9] applied exergy analysis on a real production day of an offshore platform. Most of the studies [4,[6][7][8] stressed the importance of good use of the waste heat contained in the exhaust gases.…”

“…A considerable number of studies [4][5][6][7][8][9] developed researches on efficiency evaluation for offshore oil extraction and its related processes. Nguyen et al [4] suggested a component-by-component exergy efficiency formulation for offshore oil and gas processing.…”
