In this paper, we explore the strategic initiatives undertaken by Saudi Aramco to mitigate the environmental impacts of flaring in its operations. The key focus is the implementation and potential impact of the company's Master Gas System, a comprehensive solution developed with an aim to significantly reduce flare volumes, essentially aligning the company’s operations with environmental preservation standards.
1. The paper discusses Saudi Aramco's strategic actions to decrease the environmental impacts of flaring in its operations.
2. The company's primary solution involves the implementation of the Master Gas System, designed to significantly reduce flare volumes.
3. Through these initiatives, Saudi Aramco is aligning its operations with environmental preservation standards.
4. Saudi Aramco has set an ambitious goal to reduce flaring throughout all their operations as a further effort to respect the environment.
5. The Master Gas System effectively manages gas collection, processing, transmission and consumption across Saudi Arabia, reducing environmental impact and increasing operational efficiency.
As a result of implementing the Master Gas System, Saudi Aramco has successfully reduced flaring in its operations by 50% over the last decade.
In an effort to respect the environment and optimize the use of natural gas, Saudi Aramco enacted an ambitious goal - the reduction of flaring throughout its operations. This began with the establishment of its Master Gas System, a systematic approach to enhance the utilization of natural gas. This system is essentially a comprehensive scheme for managing gas collection, processing, transmission and consumption. It maps out a clear plan for the effective deployment and management of the gas resources throughout the kingdom. It positions the company to mitigate wastage, thereby reducing the environmental impact and increasing the efficiency of its operational framework.
