At KGNG Refinery, associated gas extraction is a vital component of our operations, aimed at maximizing resource efficiency and minimizing environmental impact. Associated gas—also known as flare gas—is the natural gas found alongside crude oil during the extraction process. Rather than allowing this valuable resource to be wasted through flaring, we utilize advanced recovery and processing techniques to capture and repurpose it.
Our extraction process involves separating gas from the crude oil stream at the production site using gas-liquid separators and compression systems. The recovered gas is then processed for commercial use, such as fuel for power generation, reinjection to maintain reservoir pressure, or as feedstock for petrochemical production.
By investing in gas capture infrastructure and environmentally responsible technologies, we reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to cleaner, more efficient energy production. Our approach not only enhances operational sustainability but also adds economic value by transforming a byproduct into a usable energy resource.
Through skilled engineering, compliance with strict safety standards, and a commitment to innovation, KGNG Refinery ensures that associated gas is managed responsibly—supporting our broader mission of sustainable energy development.
