The oil & gas transport and storage engineering is exploring ways to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprints by connecting each part through supply chains. This study provides an overview of current methods, technological improvements, and the latest trends in OGTS to achieve sustainable development goals. The critical analyses focus on increasing flexibility, energy saving, emission reduction, and changing energy structure. The study emphasizes the need for further improvement in energy efficiency, reducing energy/water/material consumption and emissions, and maintaining safety in the extensive oil & gas network.
The oil & gas transport and storage (OGTS) engineering, from the upstream of gathering and processing in the oil & gas fields, to the midstream long-distance pipelines, and the downstream tanks and LNG terminals, while using supply chains to connect each part, is exploring its way to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprints. This work provides an overview of current methods and technological improvements and the latest trends in OGTS to show how this industry strives to achieve sustainable development goals. The critical analyses are from increasing flexibility, energy saving, emission reduction, and changing energy structure. The study shows the need to focus on improving energy efficiency further, reducing energy/water/material consumption and emissions, and maintaining safety for such an extensive oil & gas network.
