The Novel Energy Policy Evaluation Method and Its Application in Oil and Gas Fields in China

Abstract

With industrialization and urbanization constantly speeding up in China, the energy consumption grows rapidly. As the energy consumption rapidly increases, the energy production has been unable to meet the requirements of the energy consumption growth. Energy saving is mainly focused on energy-saving technologies and the choice of energy-saving measures, but the research of appraisal on energy conservation policies are few. Based on the property of the energy policy evaluation, the evaluation method of the three-point interval number comparison matrix is put forth to solve the problem of preference information that is often lost by modeling complex group decision-making processes. The proposed method’s consistency, weight estimation approach and group decision-making aggregation approach are studied. Based on the complete consistency definition of the three-point interval number matrix, a definition of the possible value error is introduced. Lastly, several energy policies on oil and gas fields in China are evaluated via the suggested approach, and it illustrates the steps and its validity.
