Cutting power costs starts with basic analyses
- Ohm Corp., Orange, CA (United States)
Oil and gas production departments should already be reducing their power costs. Regardless of how US deregulation of electricity finally shakes out, power costs are a large portion of total operating expense. Much has been written in recent months about the rosy days, ahead, when electric utilities will be fully deregulated. But this will only be an extension of the opportunities available today; although, after deregulation, many new options will add both opportunities along with complexities. There is no magic to reducing power costs. It is simply a matter of working at it. Recommended steps for lowering power costs is shown. The paper discusses electricity basics, power bills, managing power cost, field equipment changes, electrical equipment changes and deregulation.
