Evaluating gas-flaring-related carbon emission performance in the Nigerian upstream sector: a comparison of duo methods
This paper uses DEA-based and non-DEA-based environmental performance measurement methods to develop and evaluate gas-flaring-related carbon emission performance indexes for dominant companies in the Nigerian upstream sector. The study relies on empirical data collected from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation’s Annual Statistical Bulletins. Indexes developed from the two methods are ...

Pollution reduction from flares by swirl vanes in a cross-flow
The effect of swirl on the performance of a flare stack was experimentally investigated as a passive control technique for combustion in a cross-flow. The burner comprised a circular fuel nozzle with a co-annular airflow, swirled by a concentric vane swirler, with a crosswind of air at the flare tip. It was found that the flames issuing from swirl-vane flare tip were shorter and had wider flame ...

Gas flaring in developing countries – need for kyoto mechanisms or sectoral crediting mechanisms?
Gas flaring is a phenomenon that is wasteful in terms of valuable resources as well as a contributor to global GHG emissions, and occurs mostly in developing countries. It can only be mitigated through long-term and strategic investments, involving a myriad of stakeholders. A crediting mechanism could be seen as a starting point to create incentives for both private and public parties to build ...

Tech Note: Flare Gas Measurement Innovation; Retain Flow Metering Accuracy Even if Gas Composition Changes
It’s a fact oil wells almost always produce natural gas along with the petroleum. Nine times out of ten, the excess gas (typically hydrocarbons) is flared off or simply vented as-is during upset conditions in the process. The environmental impacts of “flaring” this excess gas into our atmosphere has resulted in government regulations like 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOO (also known ...

Replacing of mechanical compressors by gas ejectors in flare gas recovery systems
One of the main concerns of humankind in this century is the global warming induced by the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. A promising process for controlling the atmospheric CO2 level is prevention of combustion in flares causing high losses of raw material and energy that could generate more desired products. In the present work, a flare gas recovery unit (FGRU) ...

Integrated GTL power-generation technology: the optimal solution to natural gas exploitation in Nigeria
Nigeria has an estimated 187 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven gas reserves. Almost 50% of annual associated gas produced is flared or re-injected for enhanced recovery. Currently, the preferred option for exporting stranded gas is liquefied natural gas (LNG). However, the world LNG market is relatively small compared to middle distillates, and strongly driven by long-term and high risk ...

Flare Gas Power Pant, Majdan, Serbia - Case Study
The oil field at Majdan, Serbia had excess Assosiated Petroleum Gas (APG). Due to the low heating value and high CO2 content, this gas used to be flared. In 2016 RSE installed a fully containerized power plant with 5 units ENERGIN GEN G500 installed in three containers. The gas cleaning system to remove traces of siloxanes and H2S was also supplied by ...

Feature: Permian oil producers have a natural gas problem
A natural gas bottleneck in the Permian Basin could force oil producers to shut wells or seek waivers to flare large amounts of natural gas if takeaway capacity does not catch up by the end of this year. Lack of natural gas pipelines could impact oil output Producers may seek to expand flaring to keep oil flowing Citi says severe glut could send Waha gas price to zero Texas Railroad ...

What are the types of incinerators available?
Incineration is a viable alternative to Landfill. An incinerator can destroy and remove at least 99.99 percent of each harmful chemical in the waste it processes. When some extremely harmful chemicals are present, EPA requires that an incinerator show it can destroy and remove at least 99.9999 percent of contaminants in the waste. Ash remaining at the bottom of the combustion chambers likely ...
