One of the current issues of efficient energy resources usage is to improve the efficiency
of associated petroleum gas utilization. The solution is connected with the additional
expenses for the oil companies, especially for those which are involved in the
development of small deposits, distant from the infrastructure. Calculations of the
economic efficiency of the associated petroleum gas utilization production technology
application were carried out on the basis of the information provided by one of the
enterprises of Russia (Tomsk region).
The open exchange of economic information on the implementation of certain
technologies and the determination of economic feasibility of the associated petroleum
gas usage under the conditions of the particular field will contribute to the development
of the best experience of rational subsurface usage by oil producing enterprises.
Results of calculation of economic efficiency of carbon black production from soot for
the deposits with the recoverable reserves of about 5 million and the average distance
from the nearest pipeline - 40 km, showed that at an average cost of carbon black of
1300 $ per tone, the payback period will be 5.4 years.
Calculations of economic efficiency of GTL-technologies application on an example of
Tomsk region deposits showed that the payback period for deposits with similar
characteristics and at an oil price of 30 $ per barrel will be 3-4 years. In addition, the
implementation of GTL-technologies in the process of associated petroleum gas
utilization on the field will allow to get transportable products with high added value, to
improve the ecological environment in areas of oil and gas production, as well as to
minimize the payment of fines for excessive APG flaring.
Economic analysis indicates to the necessity to expand the list of useful innovative
technologies of associated petroleum gas usage. This will not only improve the
competitiveness of companies, but also reduce the negative impact on the environment,
which is important due to the implementation of United Nations programs realization in
the sphere of environmental protection.
