the purpose of this article is to consider the problem of flaring associated petroleum gas (APG), as one of the most relevant and acute for our country, because Russia occupies a leading position in the world in terms of APG flaring volumes. Burning APG leads to environmental damage, contributes to the greenhouse effect, harms public health, as well as the country's economy - valuable chemical raw materials and energy resources are simply thrown away. According to the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation, out of 55 billion m3 of APG produced annually in Russia, only 26% (14 billion m3) is sent for processing, 47% (26 billion m3) goes to the needs of the fields, or is written off as technological losses and 27 % (15 billion m3) is flared. |
