Bashneft (part of Rosneft) has begun ground monitoring of methane emissions at the company’s production facilities using modern high-precision equipment. The company’s specialists have taken measurements using ground monitoring equipment at 29 industrial sites, thanks to which the carbon footprint at these facilities has been minimized.
Progressive movement towards carbon neutrality is one of the important vectors of development of Rosneft Oil Company. The company aims to achieve leadership positions in the field of minimizing the impact of its production assets on the environment.
The implementation of the Company’s promising project is being carried out in a key region for Bashneft by engineers from Bashneft-Dobycha LLC. A complex of high-tech equipment equipped with laser, ultrasonic and thermal imaging sensors allows specialists to identify and eliminate unregulated sources of greenhouse gas emissions at production facilities.
The start of ground monitoring of methane emissions was a logical addition to the aerial monitoring that Bashkir oil workers began in 2021. Then, using domestic unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with laser gas analyzers, high-resolution photo and video cameras, 26 industrial facilities of the enterprise were surveyed. This year, ground and aerial monitoring has already been carried out at 56 facilities, including oil and gas treatment units of Bashneft-Dobycha LLC.
Taking into account the experience and results obtained, Bashkir oil workers have developed an optimal program for monitoring methane emission sources, in accordance with which it is planned to study all the enterprise’s site facilities in 2023.
Since 2019, Rosneft has been systematically implementing a comprehensive program to monitor and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The expansion of this program, as well as the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, laser and thermal imaging scanning devices, and ultrasonic detectors help minimize the impact on the environment.
Reference:
Bashneft-Dobycha LLC is the key production asset of Bashneft Oil Company. It implements investment gas program measures aimed at reducing the impact of oil production on the environment and achieving a level of 95% rational use of associated petroleum gas.
The implementation of the gas program allowed the enterprise to ensure 96% rational use of associated petroleum gas.
