As the global energy landscape undergoes an ever-growing emphasis on sustainability, efficiency and reduced carbon emissions, Upstream Surface Facilities are at the same pivotal crossroads as the rest of the energy sector. Surface facilities are a crucial link connecting the upstream (exploration and production) and downstream (refining and distribution) segments of the energy industry. Upstream Surface Facilities are facing key challenges such as decarbonization pressure, a shifting energy mix, and a profound change in technology.
Upstream Surface Facilities need to streamline their operations in the short-, medium, and long-term horizons by adequation of their infrastructure and optimization of their energy consumption, HC loss management and operations through the adoption of technology and innovation. This discussion delves into those issues.
