. . Dealing with associated gas can be costly and can make oil field development difficult. This problem is most acute in deepwater and in remote locations . This conference will look at the technologies available to utilise associated gas. . Tax regimes make the flaring of gas increasingly uneconomical, and this, along with environmental concerns and the pressure to utilise dwindling natural resources effectively, is driving the development of new technologies to utilise associated gas more effectively. . |  |
As well as looking at the economic, environmental and political drivers for new technologies this conference will provide an analysis of some possible solutions and alternatives to flaring.
