Project to End Gas Flaring in Three Oilfields of Khuzestan

Maroon Oil and Gas Production Company and the Persian Gulf Petrochemical Holding Company are jointly implementing a project to reduce gas flaring to zero in Shadegan, Koupal and Maroon oilfields in the southern oil-rich province of Khuzestan, managing director of Maroon Oil and Gas Production Company said.
“The firm produces close to 15 million cubic meters of natural gas per day, of which a massive 12% or 1.8 mcm go to waste in the form of flare gas,” Hamid Kaviyan was also quoted as saying by ISNA.
With the help of the private sector, the company has reduced harmful emissions by collecting 500,000 cubic meters of associated petroleum gas per day, he added.
