ONHP to solve the problem of associated petroleum gas evacuation

PAO OMSKNEFTEKHIMPROEKT (ONHP) requested to perform a large-scale study of evacuating Associated Petroleum Gas (APG). After summarizing analytical efforts of the Global consulting company ONHP will issue a conclusion suggesting several options of associated gas application. This analysis will enable ONHP to propose modern and environmentally friendly methods of associated gas evacuation for oil companies during projects development.  

APG flaring is a stumbling block for modern oil and gas industry due to economic, environmental and social risks and losses, especially in the context of global trends of low-carbon and energy-efficient economy. According to the World Bank statistics, Russia is the leader on the list of countries with the highest APG flaring. This fact makes this issue more serious for our country both in terms of preventing environmental pollution and improving the country's image in the international arena.

Therefore, more and more attention is paid to the rational use of associated gas by oil companies. Many options of APG recovery exist. Nevertheless, Russia is flaring more than 20 billion cubic meters of associated gas annually. Thus emission of pollutants makes about 400 thousand tons. The purpose of the study conducted by ONHP together with Norwegian analysts is to review the situation with APG evacuation methods, study international experience and propose APG evacuation options which are the most appropriate for Russian companies.

PAO OMSKNEFTEKHIMPROEKT interest towards this issue is not accidental. The company develops different complicated projects for a number of oil-producing companies both in Russia and abroad.
