Waste gas management at onshore oil and gas sites: framework for technique selection - report

Details

This project assessed the different methods available for managing waste gas at onshore oil and gas sites. It also developed an approach for determining which of the available technologies should be considered the best option at an individual onshore oil and gas facility.

This approach can be used by the Environment Agency and operators of onshore oil and gas facilities to enable structured, auditable and transparent decision-making on what might be the Best Available Techniques for their specific sites. This will help to support consistent and justifiable decisions on what techniques for waste gas management at onshore oil and gas facilities provide the best outcome for the environment.
