Abstract

The decline in Indonesia's national crude oil production which is directly proportional to the increase in production operational costs has an impact on reducing state revenues from oil and gas revenue sharing funds. One of the efforts that can be done to eliminate losses from this sector is to conduct energy analysis and exergy analysis to determine the locations where energy and exergy losses occur which are then converted into economic costs in the upstream oil and gas business in the form of losses operating costs. Energy and exergy analysis in this study was conducted at a crude oil collection station and hydrocarbon transportation facility at CPP Blok, Riau, Indonesia. The results showed that the largest energy flow was found in the wash tank, which was 183.546 KW, the shipping pump was 240346.34 KW, and the heater was 398.4 KW. The largest exergy destruction occurred in washing tanks of 73,418 KW, shipping pumps of 0.319 KW and heaters of 0.363 KW, with a total exergy destruction cost of all equipment of 64,243.29 USD/year.
