Speaking to
NIPNA, Ali Vatani said that the ongoing projects in the petrochemical industry
to extinguish the flare stacks are very valuable and useful, saying,
"Activities have been carried out to stop flaring APG which require some
time to become fully operational.”
There are 4 types
of flare stacks: those in oil refineries, gas refineries, petrochemical plants
and over wellheads. Various projects are designed to prevent burning the APG in
petroleum operations.
Associated petroleum gas (APG), or associated gas, is a form of natural gas which is found with deposits of petroleum, either dissolved in the oil or as a free "gas cap" above the oil in the reservoir.
