Development of flare gas recovery system at the outstations of the oil fields Elahmar Outstaion Case Study


Abstract in English

In this research proposed system components will be studied in order to recover flare gases at outstations of the oil fields which not connected to any gas plant, hence they send continuously the entire associated gases to the flare, and how to determine the proposed recovery system operating parameters in order to recover the mentioned gases and reuse them in central process facilities, where a number of gas turbines which have a dual system (gas - diesel) located at Elwared central process facility consume a huge amount of diesel, while the associated gas in Elwared related outstations especially Elahmar burns (2.5 MMSCFD).
