Abstract

Organization and development conditions of ambient air contamination control stations available at onshore and offshore oil fields differ significantly. In the former case, when organizing production control at onshore facilities considering well-established practice, no special restrictions are recorded both for the development and location of a stationary network of the control stations, and for route and flare measurements. Organization of the control system at offshore facilities is determined by special conditions and requirements which is associated with a technical solution for deployment of the control stations in the aquatic area on the one hand and outfit of independent power supply utilities, and reliability of the systems and their self-sufficiency from the climatic conditions, on the other hand. Considering this, common process specifications applied to the ambient air contamination control systems do not possess a sufficient potential for their application at offshore facilities. A brief empiric assessment of various concepts for organization of production control of ambient air contamination at oil fields offshore facilities in the North Caspian Sea aquatic area considering their optimistic application and economic feasibility of their application is provided in the analytical review. The ambient air contamination control system including implementation of Lidar complexes for distant reconnaissance is a prevailing trend in the concepts assessed.
