In Yamal utilization of associated petroleum gas reached ninety two percent

In Yamal the average index of utilization of associated petroleum gas makes 92 percent. This information was given to a correspondent of IA "Sever-Press" by the acting head of Rosprirodnadzor on Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug Natalia Kolesnikova.

By her words, oil companies pay more attention to the problem of rational use of associated gas. Regulation N7 of the 8th of January of 2009, which included the demand to lead the level of utilization of associated gas up to 95 percent, assisted to this activation.

After increasing legislative pressure the amount of penalty sanctions collected by the Rosprirodnadzor (Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resource Usage) on Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug only for burning of associated petroleum gas in 2012 made 1 milliard and 500 million rubles, and in 2013 – 2 milliard and 500 million rubles. Considerable sums hit the pocket of subsoil users. Recently the results were summed up – till the end of 2013 the basic amount of enterprises came to the 95-percent level of utilization of associated petroleum gas. Somewhere the results are higher. In large companies the index makes 98 percent. Now the average index in the region makes 92 percent, as Natalia Kolesnikova notes.
