Case Study: Major Oil and Gas Company achieves more than $800K in savings with Enel X demand management

Oil and Gas Company Saves Hundreds of Thousands in Annual Energy Costs Through Strategic Operational Planning

A major oil and gas company worked with Enel X North America to reduce energy spend across 12 mission-critical facilities that maintain proper pipeline pressurization for natural gas transport. The company’s biggest challenge was unmanaged demand charges, which made up 42% of annual energy spend, while any cost-cutting effort also had to protect equipment reliability and pressure levels.

Enel X North America implemented a demand management strategy that required no new equipment investment. By analyzing billing cycles, mapping how specific equipment contributed to peak demand, and giving operational teams better visibility into energy impacts, the company could make smarter scheduling decisions for startups, shutdowns, and maintenance. The result was more than $800K in savings in the first year alone, even as a new facility was opened and ramped up.
