A gas flare, alternatively known as a flare stack, is an elevated vertical conveyance found accompanying the presence of oil wells, gas wells, rigs, refineries, chemical plants, natural gas plants, and landfills. They are used to eliminate waste gas which is otherwise not feasible to use or transport. They also act as safety systems for non-waste gas and is released via pressure relief valve when needed to ease the strain on equipment. They protect gas processing equipments from being overpressured.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/natural-gas-flares/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/natural-gas-flares/ Tue, 17 Aug 2010 15:25:55 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/natural-gas-flares/ 29.19071100 21.42858100 <![CDATA[In Situ Heavy Oil Facility]]>

Oil is extracted from sand at this site near Fort McMurray, Alberta.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/31/business/worldbusiness/31fobriefs-SUNCOREXPAND_BRF.html

"In a move that will make it the country’s largest oil sands producer, Suncor Energy said it would spend 20.6 billion Canadian dollars (about the same in American dollars) to expand operations near Fort McMurray, Alberta. The operation will be able to produce 550,000 barrels of oil a day when completed in 2012. The chief executive of Suncor, Richard L. George, said that with the new project, the company expects to generate a 15 percent return on investment at an oil price of $60 a barrel. The expansion will also allow Suncor to use an underground steam heating process rather than open-pit mining for about half of its tar sands oil production, which will reduce the effect on the environment."]]>

The insitu formations of the Duri field are unconsolidated sands; coupled with a steam flood operation they are susceptible to producing large quantities of oily viscous fluids as a by-product from the oil production. Up to 400 m 3 /day (2,500 bpd) of oily viscous fluids are generated at five oil production Central Gathering Stations (CGS) in the Duri oilfield.]]>
