Due to these facts, the issue of energy and resource conservation occupies a central place in petroleum companies’ policies [6]. The petroleum industry recognizes that energy efficiency and resource conservation programs, including well-balanced environmental policies, can make a major contribution to optimal use of natural resources and reduction of environmental impact [7, 8]
