ADVANTAGES OF USING LIQUEFACTION TECHNOLOGY, UTILIZATION OF PETROLEUM GAS ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE NORTHERN SHURTAN FIELD

Abstract

Abstract: Petroleum gas is a mixture of light hydrocarbons accompanying oil both in a free state in the form of bubbles and in a dissolved form. It consists of saturated hydrocarbons - methane, ethane, propane, butane, isobutane. According to preliminary estimates, about 1.2 - 1.5 billion m3 of associated gas per year are burned at the operating fields of the Uzneftegazdobycha NHC Uzbekneftegaz. The use of the method of liquefying petroleum gases in oil field conditions suggests the use of new technologies
