Transitioning a production facility to a target operating state based on carbon dioxide emissions

A method implemented at an oil and gas production facility, the method comprising:

• generating a target operating state for the oil and gas production facility to accommodate a facility input;
• generating a current operating state for the oil and gas production facility based on operating parameters measured at a plurality of units of equipment;
• generating a first transitionary state and a second transitionary state between the current operating state and the target operating state, the first transitionary state having first carbon dioxide emissions based on changing the operating parameters and the second transitionary state having second carbon dioxide emissions based on changing a portion of the plurality of units of equipment that are turned on;
• changing the oil and gas production facility to the first transitionary state or the second transitionary state using the first carbon dioxide emissions and the second carbon dioxide emissions.

A system, comprising:

• a processor and memory, the memory including instructions executable at an oil and gas processing facility operating at a current operating state, wherein the instructions cause the processor to:
• apply a first predictive controller to the current operating state to generate a first transitionary state between the current operating state and a target operating state, the first transitionary state utilizing a first combination of equipment operating in the current operating state and resulting in first carbon dioxide emissions;
• apply a second predictive controller to the current operating state to generate a second transitionary state between the current operating state and the target operating state, the second transitionary state utilizing a second combination of equipment different than the first combination of equipment and resulting in second carbon dioxide emissions;
• and
• select one of the first transitionary state or the second transitionary based on the first carbon dioxide emissions and the second carbon dioxide emissions.
