Journey Towards Near Zero Flaring - A Case Study

Abstract

Saudi Aramco (SA) took a long and patient journey to reduce flaring, which has gone through several phases of growth and progression. The journey began with the development of the Master Gas System (MGS). That enable the company to achieve zero routine flaring as per the world bank definition. Today, Saudi Aramco achieved a remarkable flaring intensity of 4.60 scf/boe. This figure amounts to less than 1% of raw gas production.
