    Thanks for your input .

    Have you implemented the options in any of the facility. Is it possible!

    If yes , to start with please elaborate on the first one to utilise the flash gases from seperator into heater burner. 

     

    Regards

    Dear Faisal,

    The following steps would reduce the GHG emission for exploration and production division:

    1.If you have a line heater / burner in your organization then you can divert the flash gases from the separator / vessels and use as a burner fuel.

    2. Reduced the compressor blow down.

    3.strict approval to be taken while Open flows /wells test.

    4. Instead of flaring use fuel for enhanced oil recovery if any well required.

    5.For power generation you can utilized.

    6.Investigate the causes of repeat non-routine flaring due to this you can reduce the incidents.

    I hope the above steps will help you,would appreciate if u share for the same.

    Alternative to flaring in Oil and Gas ?!!!!
    What could be the flaring alternatives to reduce GHG emission in oil and gas sector.

    Flaring was going on for years and years in Assam Oilfields.

    I don't know the present situation.  So much of gas was 

    going waste in flaring.  So, I can say, flaring was a a permanent 

    arrangement.

    We need to understand why we do flare? to reduce venting- my question is flaring alternative! Flare could be as big as the size of the flare stack - practically feasible solution for utilisation of flared gas would be appriciated.

    Please note that flaring is not permamment, only in emergency and during maintenence.

    Regards

    Can not the heat generated by flaring be utilized to generate
