Reduced Order Greenhouse Gas Flaring Estimation

چکیده
Global gas flaring is difficult to sense, a tremendous source of wasted revenue, and causes ecological problems. We use satellite sensors to predict gas flares’ sizes. We tested regression and classification algorithms, along with anomaly detection using k-means, and found that linear regression and 2-class SVM are almost as good as the full-tilt sensor model produced by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Environmental Pollution and Measurement of Gas Flaring
A flare is a combustion device that uses air or steam to burn associated, unwanted or excess gases and liquids released during production or by pressure relief valves during unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment in many industrial operations, such as oil-gas extraction, refineries, chemical plants, coal industry and landfills. Several environmental problems caused by gas flaring such as ...
متن کاملGas Flaring in Industry: an Overview
Gas flaring is a combustion device to burn associated, unwanted or excess gases and liquids released during normal or unplanned over-pressuring operation in many industrial processes, such as oil-gas extraction, refineries, chemical plants, coal industry and landfills. Gas flaring is a significant source of greenhouse gases emissions. It also generates noise, heat and provided large areas uninh...
متن کاملGas Flaring and Venting Associated with Petroleum Exploration and Production in the Nigeria’s Niger Delta
Global flaring and venting of petroleum–associated gas is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions and airborne contaminants that has proven difficult to mitigate over the years. In the petroleum industry, poor efficiency in the flare systems often result in incomplete combustion which produces a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and i...

Iran as a rapidly developing country, whose economy is enriched by oil and gas exports, has to integrate Green Economy concept into its energy sector. In order to integrate environmental concerns into energy sector, an Energy-Environment Review (EER) was considered as the mainstreaming tool capable of examining the interface between energy and the environment. The results of the EER should be i...
متن کاملA Fifteen Year Record of Global Natural Gas Flaring Derived from Satellite Data
We have produced annual estimates of national and global gas flaring and gas flaring efficiency from 1994 through 2008 using low light imaging data acquired by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). Gas flaring is a widely used practice for the disposal of associated gas in oil production and processing facilities where there is insufficient infrastructure for utilization of the g...
