Daily collection of flare gas hits 6m cubic feet in southern oilfields
The CEO of Maroon Oil and Gas Production Company announced the launch of a new sweet gas transmission line, which has increased the company’s gas transmission capacity and allows for the daily collection of approximately 6 million cubic feet of flare gas in the southern oilfields.
Speaking to IRNA on Wednesday, Qobad Naseri emphasized that the company’s technical and operational efforts prioritize environmental protection and the preservation of hydrocarbon resources.
“One of our key priorities is reducing gas flaring, ensuring a stable supply of feedstock for petrochemical industries, meeting the gas needs of the national grid, and contributing to non-oil exports through petrochemical products to help address the country’s energy shortages,” he stated.
The official highlighted that the construction of the new pipeline is part of Maroon Oil and Gas Production Company’s gas pipeline modernization project.
Naseri also noted that the commissioning of the sweet gas transmission line to production units will generate an annual profit of $9 million, while collecting 6 million cubic feet of flare gas daily to prevent environmental pollution.
