flaring

The startup known for helping introduce Bitcoin mining to the upstream industry is now also offering cloud computing using associated gas.

The Gas Growth Integrated Project will capture and supply flare gas to generate electricity and treat seawater to manage pressure in oil wells in Iraq’s Basra region.

The authors of this paper discuss Saudi Arabia’s progress in gas flaring, the measures the government has taken, and how operators have adapted.

The first direct air capture facility will debut a few months late, but that’s not a big concern for its developer.

Barriers remain, but oil companies across the world are now in a position to reap big profits by capturing methane instead of flaring and venting it.

H2 Industries says it has developed a way to convert gas that normally would be flared into clean hydrogen and solid carbon at the oil field.

Data from member companies reveals an increased intensity in greenhouse-gas emissions for 2021. And, while flaring increased, too, long-term trends on that practice are clearly moving downward.

An emissions-reduction study conducted for a Middle East operator identified potential annual savings of $10 million–$15 million, a 20% decrease in total Scope 1 CO2eq emissions, and 10 MW of energy reduction and delivered more than 100 recommendations for both technical and internal framework improvements.
