The Ministry of Oil, through continuous efforts and precise planning, has succeeded in collecting over 17 million cubic meters of associated and flare gas daily. This step is in line with the long-term goals of this ministry and in accordance with the obligations of the country's seventh development plan.
Details of the Flare Gas Collection Program
Collecting flare gas is considered one of the important environmental and economic issues in the oil industry. By optimizing processes and utilizing modern technologies, the Ministry of Oil has been able to achieve this goal. Associated and flare gases, which are burned due to lack of use, not only contribute to environmental pollution but can also be used as an energy source.
Positive Impacts of Gas Collection
The daily collection of 17 million cubic meters of flare gas will significantly help reduce air pollution and improve environmental quality. Additionally, this action will optimize energy consumption and reduce the economic costs resulting from gas flaring. According to estimates, utilizing this gas can help meet part of the country's energy needs.
The Ministry of Oil, through precise planning and the implementation of various projects in the field of flare gas collection, aims to increase production capacity and optimize the country's energy resources. Meanwhile, according to the seventh development plan, it is expected that flare gas collection will remain one of the main priorities of the Ministry of Oil and continuous improvements will be made in this regard.
