This paper presents a novel methodology that track and measures the overall energy performance in oil and gas companies based on the leading energy performance indicator (EnPI). Although such tool does not directly measure an actual and reflect an as-is operational data of the companies’ energy performance, it tracks the achievements in the key work processes or the implementation status of an Energy Management Systems (EnMS). As introduced by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 2011, EnMS consists of interacting elements from proven deployment and implementation steps based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) continual improvement framework. The lacks of industrial standards and literature have resulted in the sparse application of leading EnPI. The proposed leading EnPI tool is based on the defined activities that affect the deployment and implementation of EnMS. Such tool is required for continuous improvement and promotion of strong partnership among all stakeholders. To illustrate the proposed methodology, the progress of EnMS implementation, identification of energy-saving initiatives, and review of potential energy savings of the major oil and gas companies are performed.

Energy Management Systems

Certified energy management systems suffer from a perception that they require exhaustive quantities of time and resources to operate, and that this time could be more beneficially spent saving energy through improvement projects. It is commonplace for processes such as energy performance indicator development, energy review and action planning to be implemented in manual and hence resource-intensive processes. No effective web-based tools currently exist to aid end users in processes. As part of an embedded study working with three large manufacturing companies, it was found that 5–75 days were spent implementing these three key aspects of a structured energy management system. Web-based solutions offer the potential to streamline the operation of these resource heavy components of energy management systems. This article focuses on the early stage development and beta testing of a web-based action planning and energy project visualisation tool which has been developed and tested on one of the embedded study participants. The results from this testing demonstrate a wiliness of the participant companies to engage with web-based tools to minimise their ISO 50001 resource requirements once they are designed in such a way as to facilitate ease of use.

Energy Management Systems

Conserving energy becomes part of business culture, and it describes by reducing energy consumption to achieve the same works. Due to increasing internal demand on energy in many parts of the world, it has pushed societal expectations to oil companies toward rigorously conserve energy and explores ways to enhance its energy performance. As global energy demand soars, it is known that the industries, power plants and transportation sectors are the main contributors to the intensive utilization of energy resources. The demand from the growing population has overwhelmed current capacity. It is inevitable, therefore, many oil companies are now participating in on-going efforts to conserve energy, and do so in a sustainable manner by means of implementing energy management systems (EnMS) in accordance to internationally recognized standards. However, its progress has just been seen and unfortunately, most of oil companies are far away from a matured management to excel in energy performance. It appears that many of oil companies consider EnMS as an ambition rather than a platform to excel in energy performance. In fact, cost reduction is a main focus instead of exploring other hidden benefits of EnMS. More seriously, lack of dedicated steps to push for the successful implementation. This paper discusses a systematic approach that drive for full implementation of EnMS at one of the leading oil companies.
