Producing oil remote from infrastructure is not too much of an issue – you stick it in a tanker, it is fairly stable and you can easily ship it to a refinery or market. Gas is more complicated – it is extremely unstable in its natural state and needs extensive processing to make it safe for transportation. These processes are not easy to do on a floating platform the middle of the ocean. But, in order to get at the oil you first have to do something with the gas. Associated Gas 2010 is aimed at oil field developers who have to find a way to deal with the gas, avoiding costly delays.
With increasing international pressure (and, in many places, legislation) to reduce flaring and venting gas the oil producers must find some other way to deal with the associated gas, or they will no longer be able to exploit remote oil fields. Associated Gas 2010 will look at ways in which the gas can be utilised and sent to a market where some, if not all, of the cost can be recuperated.
Key topics to be addressed:
- Treating natural gas as a valuable resource
- Balancing the utilisation of flared gas with the safety purposes of flaring
- Development of GGFR solutions in a wider perspective
- Gas utilisation and financing - the operator view
- CDM opportunities and challenges
- Converting flares to fuel
