Data helps determine if conserving solution gas is economically feasible.

Newly compiled data can be used to evaluate if conserving solution gas from oil batteries is economically feasible. The Clean Air Strategic Alliance (CASA) hopes this data will help companies in the oil and gas industry find economical and creative ways to recover solution gas instead of being flared or vented.

This is a win-win scenario where more efficient use of a resource can lead to less impact on the environment and a new market opportunity. The data can be used by contractors to propose to well owners creative options to recover solution gas.

The Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB) issued General Bulletin (GB) 2002-05 and Interim Directive (ID) 2002-02 requiring industry to submit information including site location, gas production, H2S content, number of residences nearby and project economics conducted as per EUB Guide 60.

The raw data submitted to the EUB is publicly available on this Web site. It is being analyzed by the Clean Air Strategic Alliance (CASA) Flaring/Venting Project Team (FVPT) to better understand solution gas conservation and factors affecting it. The FVPT has two goals:

  • To assess the performance and make recommendations regarding the Alberta solution gas flaring management framework incorporated into EUB Guide 60.
  • To develop recommendations to address a broader range of flaring and gas venting issues in Alberta.
  • The raw data submitted to the EUB is available as a MS-Excel spreadsheet called ID_2002-02_Data.xls (690 KB) Please contact the CASA Secretariat if you would like a copy of this spreadsheet.
