Executive Summary

Background

Published annually, the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) ST60B: Upstream Petroleum Industry Flaring and Venting Report fulfills the AER’s commitment to report on upstream industry flaring and venting performance, as set out in Directive 060: Upstream Petroleum Industry Flaring, Incinerating, and Venting. The report’s primary focus is on solution gas flaring and venting from crude oil and crude bitumen production operations. The report also includes flared and vented volumes from in situ bitumen facilities, gas batteries, well testing, gas plants, gas gathering systems, natural gas transmission lines, and coalbed methane and shale gas activities. The report does not include flared and vented volumes from bitumen upgraders and oil sands mine operations. The data used to compile the report are obtained from Canada’s Petroleum Information Network (PETRINEX) and the AER.

For this report:

• Crude bitumen is oil produced within the AER-designated oil sands areas that has a density of 920 kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m3) or greater.

• Crude oil is all other crude oil production in the province, including oil with a density of 920 kg/m3 or greater produced outside the designated oil sands areas.

• Conservation = [Volume of gas produced − (Volume of gas flared + Volume of gas vented)]

Volume of gas produced

• All reported flared volumes include gas that was incinerated, unless otherwise stated.

• Venting is defined as the noncombusted release of gas to the atmosphere.

Solution Gas Conservation

Solution gas conservation in 2012 was 94.2 per cent.

Solution Gas Flared

Solution gas flared in 2012 was 59.1 per cent less than the 1996 flaring baseline of 1340 million cubic metres (106 m3) (47 562 million cubic feet [MMcf]).

The increase in solution gas flared in 2012 (25.9 per cent) from the previous year can be primarily attributed to an increase in new crude oil production and low gas prices, which makes the economic viability of conservation more challenging.

Solution gas flared from crude oil batteries increased by 22.9 per cent compared with 2011. Solution gas flared from crude bitumen batteries increased by 50.6 per cent compared with 2011.

Solution Gas Vented

Solution gas vented in 2012 was 38.9 per cent less than the 2000 venting baseline of 704 106 m3 (24 988 MMcf).

In 2012, there was a 25.2 per cent increase in venting from crude bitumen batteries to 298 106 m3 (10 578 MMcf) from 238 106 m3 (8444 MMcf) in 2011. This can be attributed to 262 more crude bitumen batteries operating in 2012 compared with 2011. There was also an 18.0 per cent increase in venting from crude oil batteries to 132 106 m3 (4698 MMcf) from 112 106 m3 (3982 MMcf) in 2011, attributable to 964 more crude oil batteries operating in 2012 compared with 2011.

Discussion

In 2012, crude bitumen production increased by 17.7 per cent to 59.2 106 m3 (2101 MMcf) from 50.3 106 m3 (1785 MMcf) in 2011. Crude oil production increased by 14.1 per cent in 2012 to 31.6 106 m3 (1121 MMcf) from 27.7 106 m3 (983 MMcf) in 2011.

Solution gas conservation increased steadily from 1996 until 2005 except for 2000. Between 2006 and 2012, the conservation rate fluctuated, with the overall rate declining. In 2012, solution gas conservation was 94.2 per cent, compared with 96.3 per cent in 2005. This drop was mainly due to low natural gas prices, which made solution gas conservation economically challenging.

The viability of solution gas conservation is determined by an economic test, as specified in section 2 of Directive 060. In times of high labour and services costs and relatively low gas prices, conservation may not be economically viable.

1 Introduction

Reducing routine flaring and venting of solution gas has been a priority of the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) since 1938, the year the Turner Valley Gas Conservation Board (predecessor to the AER) was formed to address reservoir management problems in southern Alberta.1

Alberta energy resource conservation, public safety, environmental protection, and information dissemination are core AER functions. The AER’s activities, including its partnership work, on routine flaring and venting reduction address conservation and public safety. ST60B: Upstream Petroleum Industry Flaring and Venting Report, published annually, fulfills the AER’s information mandate on flaring and venting and is part of a commitment made in Directive 060: Upstream Petroleum Industry Flaring, Incinerating, and Venting (section 11) to make flaring and venting data more accessible.

The primary focus of ST60B is on solution gas flaring and venting from crude oil and crude bitumen production operations. The report also includes flared and vented volumes from in situ bitumen facilities, gas batteries, well testing, gas plants, gas gathering systems, natural gas transmission lines, and coalbed methane and shale gas activities. The report does not include flared and vented volumes from bitumen upgraders and oil sands mine operations. The data used to compile the report are obtained from Canada’s Petroleum Information Network (PETRINEX) and the AER.

For this report:

• Crude bitumen is oil produced within the AER-designated oil sands areas2 that has a density of 920 kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m3) or greater.

• Crude oil is all other crude oil production in the province, including oil with a density of 920 kg/m3 or greater produced outside the designated oil sands areas.

• Conservation = [Volume of gas produced − (Volume of gas flared + Volume of gas vented)]

Volume of gas produced

• All reported flared volumes include gas that was incinerated, unless otherwise stated.

• Venting is defined as the noncombusted release of gas to the atmosphere.

For information on flaring, incinerating, and venting requirements, see Directive 060. For questions about flaring, incinerating, and venting, including about this report, contact the AER Technical Operations Group through the Customer Contact Centre at 403-297-8311 or toll free at 1-855-297-8311.

1 The AER has had several predecessors. Although activities may have taken place under one of these, for simplicity the AER will

be used from this point forward. 2 See ST98-2013: Alberta’s Energy Reserves 2012 and Supply/Demand Outlook, figure R3.1, available on the AER website,

Background

The AER, in conjunction with the consensus-based, multistakeholder Flaring and Venting Project Team of the Clean Air Strategic Alliance (CASA), helped develop flaring and venting management recommendations for the Province of Alberta. The recommendations included determining flaring and venting baselines, flaring reduction targets, and operational requirements for the upstream oil and gas industry. The AER adopted the recommendations put forward by CASA and incorporated them into the 1999 edition of Guide 60: Upstream Petroleum Industry Flaring Guide (subsequently known as Directive 060). The AER will continue to support the CASA approach and work with industry and other stakeholders to reduce the volume of solution gas flared and vented in Alberta.

Alberta’s success in reducing flaring and venting has been acknowledged internationally. In 2002, the World Bank invited Alberta to participate in a global gas flaring reduction initiative. The success of Alberta’s flaring reduction efforts and the constructive CASA approach were attractive to the World Bank. Drawing on what it learned from the AER and other international jurisdictions, the World Bank developed and published its voluntary standard for global gas flaring reduction. The voluntary standard sets out a framework on how to reduce flaring and venting associated with crude oil production worldwide. In 2004, the AER formally endorsed the Global Gas Flaring Reduction Standard, and the AER continues to provide technical assistance in developing global standards and in developing regulatory capacity in member countries. Information about the World Bank’s Global Gas Flaring Reduction Standard is available from the World Bank Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership (www.worldbank.org/ggfr.htm).

The CASA Flaring and Venting Project Team issued its final report in December 2011. The report contained two consensus recommendations: (1) update the net present value (NPV) economic test each time Directive 060 is updated to take into account inflation, and (2) investigate well-test time limits and tie-in time limits for heavy oil to see if these limits can be shortened. The AER Production Operations Section is currently working on a project to investigate heavy oil well-test and tie-in times to see if they can be shortened. The project report is currently under internal review and will be presented to CASA for review.

2 Solution Gas Conserved, Flared and Vented, 1996–2012

Industry achieved a 94.2 per cent solution gas conservation rate in 2012, compared with 94.5 per cent in 2011, a decrease of 0.3 percentage points (see figure 1).

The combined volume of flared and vented solution gas increased to 978 million cubic metres (106 m3) (34 708 million cubic feet [MMcf]) in 2012 from 785 106 m3 (27 856 MMcf) in 2011.3 This represents an increase of 193 106 m3 (6853 MMcf), or 24.6 per cent.

The decline in conservation in 2012 of 0.3 percentage points can be directly attributed to new crude oil and crude bitumen production during the year and low gas prices, which made solution gas conservation economically challenging.

The data from all crude oil and crude bitumen batteries were used in calculating the percentage of solution gas conserved. Gas conserved includes gas delivered to a pipeline for sale and gas used as fuel for facilities and equipment, as well as for alternative uses, such as power generation.

3 Actual values have been rounded to the nearest 106 m3 and MMcf. A factor of 35.494 was used to convert from 106 m3 to MMcf.

3 Solution Gas Flaring and Venting Performance

The 2012 flared volumes were 59.0 per cent less than the 1996 flaring baseline, and the 2012 vented volumes were 39.0 per cent less than the 2000 venting baseline. Summaries of the actual reductions for the past fourteen years for flaring and twelve years for venting are given in tables 1 and 2, respectively.

The years 1996 and 2000 were selected as the baseline years for solution gas flaring and venting, respectively, because these topics were addressed by the CASA Flaring and Venting Project Team with the latest data available at those times.

Crude bitumen batteries accounted for 37.7 per cent of the solution gas flared and vented in 2012, with 80.8 per cent of this volume being vented. The AER will continue to work with all stakeholders, through CASA, to identify venting reduction strategies and opportunities to implement measures designed to achieve further reductions.

Table 3 shows the change in conservation rates for crude bitumen batteries and crude oil batteries in 2012 compared with 2011, as well as the change in gas production and flaring and venting.

Discussion

Table 3 shows actual changes in solution gas conservation compared with increases or decreases in overall solution gas production. Comparing 2011 and 2012 data, it can be seen that solution gas production at both crude oil and crude bitumen batteries increased in 2012. The table also shows that solution gas conservation at both crude oil batteries and crude bitumen batteries decreased in 2012 compared with 2011.

Starting with the edition effective January 31, 2007, Directive 060 requires that all solution gas flares or vents releasing more than 900 m3/day (32 thousand [103] cf) must be economically evaluated to see if gas conservation is viable. If the NPV of gas conservation at a crude oil battery is found to be greater than negative $50 000, the well or battery must not be produced until the gas is conserved. At crude bitumen batteries, as soon as gas flow rates exceed an average of 900 m3/day for any consecutive three-month period within a rolling six-month window, operators have up to six months to conserve the solution gas if the NPV of gas conservation is greater than negative $50 000. Prior to 2007, Directive 060 required at minimum a neutral NPV (i.e., $0.00) before solution gas conservation was necessary.

Notwithstanding the change to the solution gas conservation NPV threshold, lower natural gas prices and higher pipeline and compression capital costs in 2012 continued to negatively impact the economic viability of conservation.

Alberta Energy Regulator

Flaring from crude oil batteries increased to 477 106 m3 (16 920 MMcf) in 2012 from 388 106 m3 (13 768 MMcf) in 2011. This represents an increase of 89 106 m3 (3151 MMcf), or 22.9 per cent.

Venting from crude oil batteries increased to 132 106 m3 (4698 MMcf) in 2012 from 112 106 m3 (3982 MMcf) in 2011. This represents an increase of 20 106 m3 (715 MMcf), or 18.0 per cent.

Flaring from crude bitumen batteries increased to 71 106 m3 (2513 MMcf) in 2012 from 47 106 m3 (1661 MMcf) in 2011. This represents an increase of 24 106 m3 (852 MMcf), or 50.6 per cent.

Venting from crude bitumen batteries increased to 298 106 m3 (10 578 MMcf) in 2012 from 238 106 m3 (8444 MMcf) in 2011. This represents an increase of 60 106 m3 (2134 MMcf), or 25.2 per cent.

The decrease in solution gas conservation from 94.5 per cent in 2011 to 94.2 per cent in 2012 and increase in solution gas flaring and venting can be correlated with the following:

1) The price for natural gas remained low during 2012, making solution gas conservation economically challenging.

2) The number of crude oil batteries reporting production in 2012 increased by 964, from 11 213 in 2011 to 12 177 in 2012. This resulted in more solution gas flaring and venting at crude oil batteries in 2012.

3) The number of crude bitumen batteries reporting production in 2012 increased by 262, from 2703 in 2011 to 2965 in 2012. This resulted in more solution gas flaring and venting at crude bitumen batteries in 2012.

The oil and gas industry is constructively using a large portion of produced solution gas from crude bitumen operations as fuel to run pump motors and tank heaters. Unfortunately, conserving the remaining small volume of gas is more economically challenging. Although it recognizes this economical challenge, the AER continues to be concerned with increases in flaring and venting with respect to bitumen production.

More information on flaring and venting can be found on the AER website, www.aer.ca.

4 Flaring from All Upstream Oil and Gas Sources, 2000–2012

The total volume flared from all upstream oil and gas sources in 2012 was 941 106 m3 (33 379 MMcf), an increase of 13.2 per cent from 2011 (see figure 2).

The data in table 4 were used to prepare figure 2.

In 2012, of 1082 gas plants reporting receipts, 424 gas plants flared a total of 134 106 m3 (4743 MMcf), a 5.2 per cent increase from 2011. All gas plant subtypes contribute to this report; they include sweet gas, acid gas, acid gas injection, sulphur recovery, straddle, and fractionation. A total of 25 plants accounted for about 50 per cent of the volumes flared at gas plants in 2012.

In 2012, 50 per cent of the total volume flared from gas gathering systems came from 9 of the 4974 systems.

Flaring from gas batteries decreased by 11.7 per cent in 2012 compared with 2011.

Excluding well tests conducted in-line, the number of well tests that flared in 2012 was 1850, compared with a total of 2379 in 2011, a decrease of 529, or 22.2 per cent. The total volume of gas flared for all well tests decreased by 6.8 per cent to 189 106 m3 (6717 MMcf).

* Due to rounding, some totals may not exactly match the sum of the source categories. ** The figures for gas plants and gas gathering systems include both flared and vented volumes for the years 2000 to 2006.

When considering all well tests conducted in 2012, the average gas volume flared per test was 102.30 103 m3 (3.6 MMcf), compared with 83.20 103 m3 (3.0 MMcf) per test in 2011, an increase of 23.0 per cent (see table 5). This can be attributed to an increase in the number of horizontal multistage fracturing operations in 2012. It takes longer to recover load fluids and clean out wells in these operations, which results in greater flare volumes and flaring duration.

The reported flare volumes during well testing may have included some carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2). An AER review of 26 batteries that flared during well testing showed that about 10 per cent of the flared gas was either CO2 or N2. The volumes of these gases were subtracted by the AER from the reported flared volumes to get the actual hydrocarbon gas that was flared at these batteries.

Directive 060 requires that operators seek alternatives to well test flaring. Operators are required to test in-line when it is both economically viable and safe to do so. Testing in-line can mean either connecting to an existing gas gathering system directly or laying a temporary surface pipeline to connect a well to a remote gas gathering system. In either method, the gas from the well test is conserved.

Alberta Energy Regulator

sour gas flaring approval is required. The temporary sour gas approval process involves a detailed review of air quality dispersion modelling and is conducted to ensure that Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development’s Alberta Ambient Air Quality Objectives (AAAQO) will not be exceeded. The application for a sour gas flaring approval may also include plans that document how any predicted exceedances of the AAAQO will be mitigated to ensure compliance with the AAAQO. When the AER is satisfied that the AAAQO will be met and that levels of all other parameters, such as flared volumes and sulphur emissions, are justified and minimized, a temporary sour gas flaring approval may be issued.

In 2012, the AER issued 114 temporary sour gas flaring approvals, a decrease from the 125 issued in 2011 (see figure 3).

The reason for the decreases in sour gas flaring approvals since 2006 may be twofold. First, market conditions for natural gas have not been as favourable in recent years, which may have resulted in upstream oil and gas licensees rebalancing their capital and operating budgets.

Second, with the release of the revised Directive 060 at the end of January 2007, a new allowance to flare small volumes of gas containing H2S volumes in excess of 5 per cent without a sour gas flaring approval was introduced. With this new allowance, companies are still required to conduct dispersion modelling if the H2S concentration of the gas to be flared is in excess of 1 per cent, and proper notification to the AER and public at least 24 hours in advance of flaring operations is still required.

5 Venting from All Upstream Oil and Gas Sources, 2000–2012

The most significant source of venting is crude bitumen batteries, where solution gas is vented from the production casing annulus at a large number of individual wells. In some instances, small volumes of solution gas are also vented from treaters and stock tanks at crude oil and crude bitumen batteries. Venting during well testing is primarily from shallow, sweet, low-deliverability gas wells, including coalbed methane (CBM) wells.

In ST60B-2004: Upstream Petroleum Industry Flaring and Venting Report, 2003, the AER made commitments to identify and set out a number of conservation measures aimed at reducing the volumes of solution gas vented from crude bitumen operations. As a result of industry implementing these measures, there was a net decrease in venting from crude bitumen batteries between 2004 and 2007. However, in 2008 this trend was reversed and there was an increase of 16.9 per cent compared with 2004. In 2012, there was a 36.7 per cent increase in venting from crude bitumen batteries compared with 2004.

In 2012, venting from crude bitumen batteries increased by 25.2 per cent to 298 106 m3 (10 578 MMcf) from 238 106 m3 (8444 MMcf) in 2011. Crude bitumen production grew by 8.90 106 m3 to 59.2 106 m3 in 2012, an increase of 17.7 per cent compared with 2011, with 262 more crude bitumen batteries operating.

Venting from crude oil batteries increased by 18.0 per cent to 132 106 m3 (4698 MMcf) from 112 106 m3 (3982 MMcf) in 2011. Crude oil production grew by 3.90 106 m3 to 31.6 106 m3 in 2012, an increase of 14.1 per cent compared with 2011, with 964 more crude oil batteries operating.

The increase in solution gas venting from both crude bitumen and crude oil batteries can be correlated with more crude oil and bitumen wells operating in 2012 compared with 2011 and the ongoing low price of gas.

Figure 4 shows vented volumes broken down by source for 2000 to 2012. The total volume vented from all upstream oil and gas sources in 2012 was 501 106 m3 (17 786 MMcf), an increase of 28.7 per cent from 2011.

The data in table 7 were used to prepare figure 4.

The vent volumes during well testing reported to the AER may have included some CO2 and N2. An AER review of 19 batteries that vented during well testing showed that about 60 per cent of the vented gas was either CO2 or N2. The volumes of these gases were subtracted by the AER from the reported vented volumes to get the actual hydrocarbon gas that was vented at these batteries.

Table 7 shows an increase in 2012 compared with 2011 in volumes vented from each upstream oil and gas source.

Although the AER does not collect data on the emissions of greenhouse gases per se, it is concerned about the impact that these gases can have on the environment. Accordingly, Directive 060 requires that vented gas that can sustain continuous combustion and that is uneconomic to conserve must be burned.

6 Solution Gas Flaring and Venting Maps

In the maps that follow, solution gas flaring and venting data are depicted geographically by township within the province as a whole and within each of the AER field centre area boundaries. The maps graphically show the townships in which flaring and venting volumes are significant.

The maps do not display data derived from “paper batteries.” Paper batteries are an administrative reporting entity used by production accountants to report production from multiple wells to a single reporting location. Including paper batteries in these maps could result in the incorrect representation of flaring and venting data in townships where the flaring or venting did not actually occur. Flaring and venting from paper batteries are accounted for in the ranking tables of this report.

7 Solution Gas Emissions Ranking of Operators for 2012

The AER has ranked companies based on volumes from operated crude oil and crude bitumen batteries of (1) flared plus vented solution gas, and (2) vented solution gas. The tables in section 8 provide information on individual companies. The second column in the tables shows the percentage of solution gas conserved by an operator. Individual operators’ performance can be compared with the provincial average of 94.2 per cent solution gas conservation.

In this analysis, all crude oil and crude bitumen batteries have been included except for batteries that had an experimental well reporting fluid production in a month. The information on experimental wells remains confidential.

Note that it is possible for an operator to flare or vent a significant volume of solution gas due to the magnitude of the company’s operations and still have a high percentage of gas conserved.

Companies are also ranked province-wide and within each AER field centre area. The following describes the fields that appear in the ranking tables:

COMPANY—Name of company operating crude oil and crude bitumen batteries.

GAS CONS—Percentage of solution gas conserved: (Solution gas produced – Flared gas – Vented gas) / Solution gas produced x 100

GAS CONS CHANGE—Percentage change in gas conservation from the previous year. Blanks represent companies that did not report in 2011 due to mergers, name changes, acquisitions, etc.

GAS FLARED + VENTED (1000 m3)—Solution gas flared plus vented from operated crude oil and crude bitumen batteries.

GAS FLARED + VENTED RANK—The company’s ranking compared with other companies based on the operated volume of solution gas flared plus vented.

GAS FLARED (1000 m3)—Solution gas flared from operated crude oil and crude bitumen batteries.

FLARE RANK—The company’s ranking compared with other companies based on the volume of solution gas flared.

GAS VENTED (1000 m3)—Solution gas vented from operated crude oil and crude bitumen batteries.

VENT RANK—The company’s ranking compared with other companies based on the volume of solution gas vented.

OIL PROD (m3)—Volume of crude oil and in situ crude bitumen produced from operated crude oil and crude bitumen batteries.

SOLN GAS PROD (1000 m3)—Volume of solution gas produced from operated crude oil and crude bitumen batteries.

SOLN GAS RANK—The company’s ranking compared with other companies based on the volume of solution gas produced.
