English to Spanish: Market Barriers General field: Science Detailed field: Energy / Power Generation
Source text - English Market Barriers
The industry focuses on increasing the output of the oil fields and rate of return of the investments, while also decreasing the environmental impact and energy consumption associated with the extraction. One of the market barriers for energy efficiency in this industry has been the cutback in activity. Domestic extraction has shown a declining trend since 1986, though is likely to increase with the jump in oil prices of late.
Traditionally, the industry has resisted participating in energy efficiency practices because oil producers have first access to the fuels produced, and in some cases can deduct fuel costs as an operating expense. However, as the cost of electricity as well as electrical energy consumption increases due to increasingly depleted wells, energy efficiency is becoming a more important issue. The lack of advanced EE technologies specific to the industry and high demand for crude oil has also diverted financing opportunities to increasing output and “selective” exploration instead of energy efficiency.
Translation - Spanish Barreras de mercado
La industria se enfoca en aumentar la producción de los yacimientos petrolíferos y la tasa de rendimiento de las inversiones, a la vez que también disminuye el impacto ambiental y el consumo de energía asociados con la extracción. Una de las barreras comerciales para la eficiencia energética en esta industria ha sido la reducción en la actividad. La extracción nacional ha mostrado una tendencia a la baja desde 1986, aunque es probable que aumente con el incremento reciente en los precios del petróleo.
Tradicionalmente, la industria ha sido reacia a participar en prácticas de eficiencia energética debido a que los productores de petróleo tienen primer acceso a los combustibles producidos y, en algunos casos, pueden deducir los costos del combustible como un gasto de operación. Sin embargo, en la medida que aumentan el costo de la electricidad así como el consumo de energía eléctrica debido al creciente agotamiento de los pozos, la eficiencia energética se vuelve una cuestión cada vez más importante. La falta de tecnologías avanzadas de eficiencia energética específica de la industria y la demanda elevada de crudo también han desviado las oportunidades de inversión para incrementar la producción y la exploración "selectiva" en lugar de la eficiencia energética.
