With 25% of the energy consumed in the industry worldwide,
Oil&Gas is the most energy-intensive industry. From offshore and
onshore to storage and transport, Schneider Electric Oil&Gas
provides safe and secure solutions to boost your performance
through energy management while preserving the planet.

The Total Floating
Processing, Storage and
Offloading unit (FPSO) will
process oil via 49subsea
wells, at a depth of
between 600 and
1,200metres. It will have
a processing capacity
of 200,000barrels of oil
per day and a storage
capacity of 1.9million
barrels. Our power

will secure non-stop
operation, control critical
loads and maximize the
safety of people and

With oil prices on the increase, a large number of companies are reactivating
wells to improve production capabilities and increase the performance of
their existing active production wells, thus enhancing oil recovery, optimizing
continuity of service, and reducing mechanical stress on machinery.
Oil extraction is not the only application for pumps in oil fields. Pumps may
also be used for water injection for example. Each pump type has its own very
specific characteristics. Our solutions cater for these different specifications and
increase overall process performance. In any oil field pumps exist for different
uses, water injection is an example, and each ones has different characteristics.
Caring of these differences, our solutions will increase the total process
performance.

action to minimize losses. The current evolution, torque, running time, pressure
and temperature provide valuable information for assessing situations and
deciding on the best course of action to take. Anticipation reduces production
downtime and maintenance costs.

adjust a pumps operating parameters, such as speed, time, and torque,
toreach the best production performance.
Many solutions based on Schneider Electric equipment have been installed in oil
fields for more than 8 years with excellent results. Speed drives, soft and direct
starters include specific functions for any kind of pumping application, including
the ENA system for onshore pump jacks and torque limitations for PCP.

The pipeline company or operator are under pressure to operate with the
highest level of pipeline integrity, safety, security and reliability while meeting
demanding delivery schedules, reducing capital, operational, and maintenance
costs, and ensuring regulatory and environmental compliance.
Your pipeline system links oil and gas produced in remote production fields
concentrated through gathering lines with refineries, terminals or distribution.
The system may have multiple sources of crude or gas, storage and delivery
points linked through a system comprised of pump or compressor stations,
block valve stations, metering stations and terminals and its corresponding
control center.
The secure, efficient operation of the pipeline network requires real-time
monitoring, precise control, energy management and integral security and
safety. Your new capital projects and expansions need to be delivered on-time,
on budget and at the highest quality to ensure contractual commitments, proper
time-to-market and proper investment returns.

To obtain these products that we, or industrial users, need, the crude must be
separated by refining the oil. In this operation, a chemical process uses some of
the fractions to make others. You can change one fraction into another using one
of three methods: by breaking large hydrocarbons into smaller pieces (cracking),
by combining smaller pieces to make larger ones (unification), or by rearranging
various pieces to make desired hydrocarbons (alteration).
Refineries must also treat the fractions to remove impurities and combine the
various fractions (processed or unprocessed) into mixtures to make the desired
products.
After transformation, theses products will be part of our daily life as Petroleum gas,
Naphtha, Gasoline, Kerosene, Gas oil or Diesel distillate, Lubricating oil, Heavy
gas or Fuel oil and the Residuals (coke, asphalt, tar, waxes).
They also become the primary source for petrochemical plants where they are
transformed into plastics, synthetic fibers, and other products by ethane cracker,
polypropylene, polyethylene processes.
