On reducing the carbon footprint through the rational use of petroleum gas

Abstract

This study is devoted to the problems of irrational combustion of petroleum gas. The problems of introducing APG application methods are indicated, the methods of using gas in the fields are analyzed. The analysis of the data made it possible to establish that the harmful effect can be reduced by injecting oil gas into the reservoir with water in the form of a water-gas mixture (SWAG-technology). Exhaust or flue gases can also be used. Flue gases emitted during the flaring of associated petroleum gas can also be captured and injected as a water-gas mixture. Pump-ejector systems are proposed as a technical solution.
