Popis: This abstract is prepared to share Haradh Gas Plant Department (HdGPD) processing facility Energy Management program tools and success stories, in line with the Saudi Aramco Energy Management Program Transition Strategy that developed, established and was tasked to minimize energy and environment-related impacts and improve energy performance through preset KPIs. This paper sheds light on the implemented and deployed programs; and innovative, in-house energy initiatives to optimize overall energy consumption. The facility Energy Management System (EnMS) is fully aligned and connected to the corporate energy programs and it is part of the facility sustainability success factors. The facility implemented effective and mature Energy Efficiency Program over a seven-year cycle from the incubation in 2012 up to the current year. The facility has implemented a number of enhancement efforts innovative energy initiatives — to optimize fuel, electrical power, flaring/GHG emissions and water consumption, while meeting local customers demand — that include the Granted Patent for Fuel Purge Gas Optimization, Load Management Program, New technologies Adaption and Biodiversity Park Inauguration. The program demonstrated sustainable Energy Efficiency Performance, which improved the overall Energy Intensity Index by more than 11.5 % below the baseline. This improvement was achieved in a sustainable approach that resulted in an energy saving of more than 15,848,300 barrels of oil equivalent through the years. The following are some realized benefits of the effective implementation of the energy management system tools: 〉Maintained fully functioning energy management systems and programs〉Maintained compliance with energy standards, requirements and regulations〉Qualified the facility to be an ISO 50001 certified during 2019.〉Recognized HdGPD as one of the best performers by winning several energy related awards, such as the "2018 President Environmental Excellence Award for Greenhouse Gases and 2019 International Green World Award" as well as the 2021 Environmental Excellence Award winner by GPA Midstream.
