Energy efficiency and conservation become an integral part of the business culture, and it simply means using less energy to perform the same tasks. Due to increasing internal demand on energy in many parts of the world, societal expectations for comprehensive approaches on energy efficiency have been forced into focus. As world energy demand soars, it is known that the manufacturing, power generation and transportation sectors are the main consumers to the intensive utilization of energy resources. The demand from the growing population has overwhelmed the current capacity. It is inevitable; therefore, many oil companies are now participating in on-going efforts to conserve energy, and do so in a sustainable manner by means of implementing energy management systems (EnMS) in accordance to internationally recognized standards. However, its progress has just been seen, and unfortunately, most of the oil companies are far away from matured management to excel in energy performance. Most of the oil companies consider EnMS as ambition and certificate on the wall rather than a driving vehicle to become a reference company. In fact, cost reduction is the main focus rather than to explore other hidden benefits of EnMS. More seriously, lack of dedicated measures and right strategies to push for the successful implementation. This paper discusses proven strategies that drive for full realization of EnMS benefits.
