An end to flaring? Egyptian oil companies use associated gas for power - ENTERPRISE

Monday, 21 January 2019

Two Egyptian oil companies are bucking the industry trend of flaring associated gas by using it for power generation instead, an Oil Ministry source said, according to Youm7. 

Dana Petroleum-EGPC JV Petro Kareem and Vegas-EGPC JV Petro Amir began a project last March to process gas produced at oil fields either for on-site electricity or for the national grid. Fields operated by the companies produce 55 tonnes of gas and 112 tonnes of condensates, along with 10 mcf/d of gas worth around USD 27 mn. Egypt, which is the 11th biggest gas-flaring country in the world, is a signatory to a global initiative aimed at ending routine gas flaring by 2030.

Significant Gains at Abu-Attifel Field - PETROLEUM AFRICA

Tuesday, October 23, 2018

Libya’s NOC reported that Mellitah Oil & Gas (MOG) has made “significant gains” at the Abu-Attifel oilfield. These gains come despite the security issues and logistical constraints the company faces at the oilfield.

MOG completed operating tests for a TC5 Solar Gas Turbine on October 13. This equipment is part of an impactful low-pressure flare project increasing low-pressure well gas production which then transfers to a LNG plant. The project has succeeded in increasing condensate quantities by 2,000 bpd to 9,500 bpd and reduced the proportion of ‘off-gas’ flaring to zero.

The National Drilling and Well Maintenance Company, owned by NOC, also helped MOG complete the maintenance of well No 56, restoring it to the production of 4,800 bpd of oil and approximately 9 Mmcf/d. The maintenance of well No A49 is expected to complete before the end of the year, thereby raising production by a further 1,000 bpd.
