BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 1. TotalEnergies plans
to implement new solutions at the full development stage of energy
supply at the Absheron field, while also working on ambitious
projects to provide electricity to existing production facilities,
Senior Business Development Specialist for Renewable Energy at
TotalEnergies, Chingiz Orujov, said, Trend reports.
Orujov made the remark during panel discussions within the
framework of the 31st International Caspian Oil and Gas Exhibition
in Baku today.
He noted that electrification of oil and gas assets and
expansion of the use of renewable energy sources are highly
effective in terms of reducing emissions and optimizing costs.
The company's representative said that currently, the
possibilities of generating electricity on Jeyran Island and its
transmission to the Oil Rocks field are being investigated, and
feasibility studies are being conducted in this regard.
According to him, electrification, especially with renewable
energy sources, is a realistic and promising direction for
Azerbaijan, as a number of green energy projects are already being
integrated into the energy grid in the country, which will lead to
a decrease in overall emissions.
"Grid electricity is expected to be lower-emission in the near
future, which will allow both to reduce operating costs and
minimize the carbon footprint.
According to him, as onshore facilities expand their access to
the grid, it will become easier to obtain low-emission energy,
which will create conditions for the elimination of serious
difficulties in the field," he added.
