Greenhouse gas treatment from oil and gas production outlet gases at the Srednebotuobinskoye oil and gas condensate field in a calcium fluoride environment

Determining the composition of formation fluids is the basis for further study of virtually all technical and process parameters for the subsequent development of any field. This is especially relevant for relatively recently developed fields, which are in the early or mid-stages of development, since subsequent stages of development and other related activities require a highly scientific approach to effectively achieve the planned oil and gas recovery factors. One of the key challenges among many existing ones is to reduce the anthropogenic impact of greenhouse and acid gases, such as carbon and sulfur oxides, inevitably formed during the combustion of any hydrocarbon fuel. The amount of gases emitted that contribute to climate change is currently regulated by both federal and international regulations, making the utilization of these gases a pressing issue for all subsoil users. This paper presents the results of a chromatographic study of the composition of associated petroleum gas produced at the Srednebotuobinskoye oil and gas condensate field (SBNGCF). Based on the data obtained, the composition of the flue gases resulting from associated petroleum gas combustion was determined. Experimental studies were conducted to determine the optimal parameters for catalytic purification of hydrocarbon combustion products to remove carbon dioxide and sulfur in a calcium fluoride medium. Following regeneration, the catalytic system fully restored its oxidizing capacity. This paper demonstrates the fundamental feasibility of catalytic flue gas purification using associated petroleum gas from the Srednebotuobinskoye oil, gas and condensate field as an example.
