Potential cost-effective flare and vent gas reduction opportunities at selected production facilities in Colombia (Operator no. 2)

A flare and vent gas measurement program was completed during the period of 6 to 13 August 2015 at the following selected Operator No. 2 oil and gas facilities in Colombia: 

• CCAC.2 Battery
• CCAC.5 Battery
• CCAC.4 Battery
• CCAC.3 Battery
• CCAC.1 Gas Plant

The purpose of this study has been, for the surveyed facilities, to identify and delineate practicable flare and vent gas reduction opportunities in terms of their magnitude, most suitable control option, feasibility, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions, secondary environmental benefits and energy conservation. The surveyed facilities were selected by Operator No. 2, based on an objective screening process, to be representative of sites having large flaring rates, and highly replicable production facilities having low to moderate flaring and venting rates.
