The flame at the top of an oil rig is an iconic image for the oil and gas industry. Yet few people know why the flare is there and its purpose. This blog focuses on why gas needs to be flared at all and how this is a critical part of ensuring safety within the oil and gas industry. Flare gas refers to the gases that are disposed of and flared into the atmosphere. Flare gas could contain sulphide and different contaminants like H 2S and dioxide, and must therefore be treated before being released. Since flare gas emissions are often toxic or corrosive, they can contribute to the formation of acid rain. A gas flare, alternatively known as a flare stack, is a gas combustion device used in industrial plants such as petroleum refineries, chemical plants, natural gas processing plants as well as at oil or gas production sites having oil wells, gas wells, offshore oil and gas rigs and landfills. Typical oil and gas flare Flaring at Oil and Natural Gas Production Sites There are thousands of oil and gas wells operating across the . state of Texas. These wells are sometimes flared and the sight of these flares can cause concern to citizens that observe them near their residence or while traveling across the state. The term gas flaring indicates the combustion of gas (without energy recovery) in an open flame that burns unceasingly at the top of flare stacks in oil production sites. This practice has resulted in the burning of large quantities of gas with the consequent production of huge amounts of carbon dioxide together The Schlumberger Oilfield Glossary has received Awards of Excellence from the Business Marketing Association and the Society for Technical Communication. Launched in 1998, the Oilfield Glossary, which includes more than 4600 entries, continues to expand and improve. Drill into this reservoir of terminology! The controlled burning (flare) or release (vent) of natural gas that can’t be processed for sale or use because of technical or economic reasons. Flow Line Pipe, usually buried, through which oil or gas travels from the well to a processing facility. Flowback Fracturing fluid that flows back to the wellbore after hydraulic fracturing is completed.

Gas flare definition: A permanent flame, sometimes located at the top of a stack, for disposing of combustible gas produced from refining or chemical process, as in a petroleum Oilfield Glossary | Oil and Gas Glossary Typical oil and gas flare Flaring at Oil and Natural Gas Production Sites There are thousands of oil and gas wells operating across the . state of Texas. These wells are sometimes flared and the sight of these flares can cause concern to citizens that observe them near their residence or while traveling across the state. Flaring is a combustion control process for gases (such as flammable gases and hydrocarbons) in which the gases are piped to a remote, usually elevated, location and burned in an open flame in the open air using a specially designed burner tip (often flare stack tip), auxiliary fuel and steam or air to promote mixing for nearly complete destruction.
