Abstract

The utilization of by-products of oil and gas production, such as associated petroleum gas, weathering gases and others is one of the most urgent ecological problems in the oil and gas complex today. In this regard a reduction of the emissions of methane at gas processing facilities by using substandard weathering gases for heat generation was the aim of this work. A technical justification for the use of substandard gas was carried out in the work and an original flow chart for collecting, storing and using weathering gases was proposed and justified. Moreover an environmental and economic justification of the proposed flow chart implementation was given on example of one of the existing gas condensate plants in northern Russia.
