APG Collection Project for Three Oilfields Unveiled

A project to collect 405 million cubic meters of associated petroleum gas per year from Maroun 3, Maroun 6 and Mansouri oilfields was unveiled on Sunday.
The project will be carried out with a total investment of $27 million in five years and the collected APG will be processed and used in other industrial processes, the Oil Ministry’s news agency Shana reported.
“Upon its completion, the project will help reduce 33 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, which is equivalent to 3-4% of the total CO2 emission in Iran,” director general of the Oil Ministry’s Health, Safety and Environment Department said.
