  • Compendium of energy and GHG efficient technologies and practices

The Ipieca-IOGP compendium provides an introduction to energy efficiency measures for oil and gas facilities, and aims to raise awareness and uptake of such technologies and practices across the industry.

Energy efficiency is one of the most immediate, cost-effective ways to reduce GHG emissions and support global and industry climate goals. Analysis from the IEA demonstrates that up to 40% of the emissions abatement required by the Paris Agreement could be delivered by energy efficiency. Adopting energy efficiency measures is a low-cost way to reduce emissions and can also have a positive impact on operational costs.

This compendium acts as a centralised resource providing 25 fact sheets on technologies and good practices that can readily be used to improve energy performance and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across midstream and downstream oil and gas operations. The examples are based largely on existing documentation, and accompanying case studies are provided where possible.

The technologies and good practices can be explored below. PDF versions are available for recently updated solutions - these can be downloaded from the solution pages below, or as a full package above.
