Upstream petroleum industry flaring report for year ending December 31, 2000

A summary of flared volumes for the various oil and gas industry sectors including well tests, gas plants, gas gathering systems and batteries were presented in this report along with data on solution gas conserved, flared and vented in Alberta during 2000. This report is published in response to a commitment that the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB) made to ensure that flaring data is more accessible to the public and industry. The data included in the report is based on information submitted by companies. The information is tabulated and operators are ranked based on solution gas flared, solution gas vented, total gas produced, and total oil from crude oil and crude bitumen batteries. The report demonstrates the significant progress industry has made towards reducing solution flare gas and vent volumes in the province. The volume of solution gas flared and vented in Alberta decreased by 38 per cent in 2000. tabs
