In the oil & gas industry, flaring has long been a safety-first solution—burning off excess gas to prevent overpressure.
But the trade-off? A huge environmental footprint and wasted energy potential. Globally, over 150 billion cubic meters of gas were flared in 2024—releasing an estimated 400 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (World Bank). That’s a footprint larger than some national economies.
Flare Gas Recovery (FGR) captures waste gas before it’s burned, compresses and treats it, then routes it back for productive use—be it power generation, reinjection, or sale.
Key benefits include:
Lower Emissions – CO₂ and methane releases
Energy efficiency – Converts wasted hydrocarbons into usable energy.
Economic return – Lowers operational costs and unlocks new revenue opportunities.
Our Perspective
At Aakash Oil Field, we believe that flare gas is not waste—it’s an opportunity.
By integrating advanced recovery systems into upstream operations, the industry can improve sustainability, enhance efficiency, and extend the value of existing resources.
Our turnkey approach focuses on:
✅ Seamless integration with existing plant infrastructure
✅ Global-standard compliance (OISD, NFPA, PESO, ASME, API)
✅ Future-ready design to adapt to evolving industry needs
🌍 Why This Is a Game-Changer
✅ Lower emissions, cleaner air – Less flaring means less methane, CO₂, and black carbon.
✅ Resilient energy systems – Recovered gas can power operations or feed into larger energy networks.
✅ ESG leadership – Reinforces India's commitment to sustainable, future-ready oilfield services
✅ Generate value – Lower fuel costs, open new revenue streams.
♻️ Flare gas is no longer just a byproduct—it’s a resource.
We’re proud to be part of the shift towards a cleaner, smarter future for oil & gas.
