SMALL HYDROELECTRIC PLANTS
The oil industry is extremely energy-intensive, typically relying on local power generation plants. This is, among other reasons, due to the location of production wells, which are often situated far from urban or rural centers and the substations of the national interconnected system. This mode of operation is costly and has a significant environmental impact.
Our solution
The proposal involves harnessing the hydraulic energy from rivers, currently available in many crude extraction fields, to generate low-cost electricity through Small Run-of-the-River Hydroelectric Plants (which don't require large dams), keeping production unchanged. This leads the company towards reduced energy consumption since it eliminates the fuel-to-electricity transformation and all associated handling costs. Additionally, the cost of energy is reduced because hydroelectricity converts the freely available potential energy in water. Also, due to public and economic energy policies, it's cheaper to generate hydroelectric power locally than to purchase it from the National Interconnected System.
The proposal is made through PPA (Power Purchase Agreements) that ensures price stability and facilitates the operation for buyers and investors.
