Abstract

Years from now, with the estimated growth in world population and economic activities, fossil fuels which currently generate more than half of the world’s energy needs would not be able to keep up with this pace because it is a non-renewable source of energy, in other words exhaustible. It has a problem of shortage of oil in the location where it was to supply to. Nigeria today is witnessing perhaps the worst power generation and distribution crisis in many years. To redress this situation, experts in the field of green energy have since lent their views in support of pursuing renewable energy in delivering power and as well as powering even the remotest parts which are without grid infrastructure.The study is to demonstrate the possibility of using solar energy to power oil Well (the fluid characteristic) testing equipment in flow stations in the oil and gas industries. This demonstration was done by using PVsys to show the possibility with the results detailed in the body of the main study. By applying this study to flow stations in the oil and gas industries, it will elimination power outage to Oil well testing equipment due to generating set break down, it will ensure steady power supply, save cost and save operators from legislative challenges with the regulators due to the challenges associated with not testing a flowing oil Well within a stipulated period.
