Why are there always some holes in large oil and gas fields that are scorching? What does it do?

These holes in the large oil and gas fields are the safety flares of the oil fields. Its function is to burn off the waste gas and harmful gases produced in the process of oil refining, which seems to be a waste of natural gas, but in fact saves a lot of costs, and makes these toxic gases not able to harm the human body, and also greatly reduces the possibility of occurrence in the oil field, but the smoke produced by combustion has a polluting effect on the atmosphere, but in general, the benefits are still much more than harmful.

Safety TorchWhen we pass by some oil fields, we can often see a high chimney in the oil field, on which a fire is burning, and the fire and smoke continue to rise to the sky. Our first reaction may be that we think it is a bit spectacular, and then we think that this way of burning natural gas is wasteful, and if it burns day and night, how much gas will have to be wasted. In fact, we are completely overthinking this idea, because these chimneys in the oil field are actually safety flares, which can burn off the collected exhaust gases and harmful gases, although they pollute the air, but can ensure the safety of people in the oil field and nearby generations.

Harmful gases oil and natural gas coexist and coexist, so in the process of extracting, processing and refining oil, it is inevitable that some natural gas will escape. This part of the natural gas does not meet the gas standard and is toxic, and has the characteristics of flammability, whether it is diffused in the oil field or into the air, it will have an impact on the surrounding environment, and even has the greatest danger in the factory, so it can only be collected through a special pipeline and burned with a safety torch.

Workers who have been working in the oil field for a long time can infer whether the chemical production is in a safe state by observing the condition of the safety flare, so the existence of the safety flare is necessary. For the waste and pollution caused by burning this part of natural gas, this is inevitable, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, because the composition of this part of the exhaust gas is very complex, it is not easy to use, and it will cost more to purify and carry out complex processes, which is better than a fire.

It is set up for the safety of the oil field and staff. On the one hand, it can protect the staff from toxic gases, and on the other hand, it is to reduce the probability of oil field **.

Because to make the oil field safer. Its function is to burn off the exhaust gases and toxic gases produced during the refining process of petroleum and protect workers.

The holes that bubble up are the safety flares of the oil fields. The safety torch mainly ensures the safety of staff by burning exhaust gases and toxic gases.

The holes in the large oil and gas fields are actually the safety flares of the oil fields, and their function is to burn off the exhaust gases and harmful gases produced by the oil in the refining process.
