Abstract
Gas flaring is an environmental problem of local, regional, and global concerns. Gas flares emit pollutants and greenhouse gases, yet knowledge about the source strength is limited due to disparate reporting approaches in different geographies, whenever and wherever those are considered. Remote sensing has bridged the gap but uncertainties remain. There are numerous sensors which provide measurements over flaring-active regions in wavelengths that are suitable for the observation of gas flares and the retrieval of flaring activity. However, their use for operational monitoring has been limited. Besides several potential sensors, there are also different approaches to conduct the retrievals. In this approach, we support the implementation of the Metering System for oil field Flares, with focus on flare reduction and improve the understanding of the Subsurface and surface Gas Balances. The methodology has been followed by comparing and verifying estimated and measured flare levels using satellite technology. This paper studies the Flaring identification points from satellite images, Historical Flaring quantification, Cross check flaring versus Gas production and flaring estimates, Check flaring temperature (combustion efficiency) and Flaring monitoring on monthly basis. Having such a direct Quantification of Gas Flaring from Satellite Images can give a better conceptual Studies approach for acid gas Long Lead capture within the subsurface geological layers.
