One of the main problems in oil production to this day is high percentage of flaring of associated petroleum gases (APG) and therefore a low level of their utilization. In addition, every year; spending aimed at developing technologies to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere is growing. Based on the analysis of existing practices, the economic prospects are evaluated and recommendations for the targeted use of APG are formulated. The study briefly outlines technologies for reducing on-site flaring that are applicable in hard-to-recover oil fields. Information on technologies is collected and evaluated from a review of previous studies, technical documents, and analysis of open international sources.
