Environmental Issues of Oil Gas Short Course on Energy Environment 14-15 November, 2009 Dr. Mahbubur Rahman Assistant Professor Department of Petroleum Mineral Resources Engg (PMRE) Bangladesh University of Engg Tecnology Presentation Outline Role of Oil Gas Reserves Production Activities in the Petroleum Industry Environmental Impact Atmospheric Aquatic Terrestrial Exploration, Drilling, Production, Transportation Waste Stream Potential Emergencies Summary Role of Oil and Gas Reserves Production Reserves Production (Contd.) Bangladesh Scenario Total number of Gas fields = 23 Number of Producing Gas fields = 18 Proven+Probable (2P) reserve = 12.2 TCF (December 2008) Production in 2008-09 = 0.64 TCF Extraction of Oil Gas is a major activity around the world, and will continue for decades to come The environmental consequences must be reckoned with Activities in the Petroleum Industry Upstream Exploration Land Aerial surveys, Satellite Images Gravitational, Magnetic Seismic Surveys Exploration Drilling (“Wildcat”) Formation Evaluation Development Drilling Appraisal/production wells Production Facilities Gathering Systems Production Downstream Transportation Refining Marketing Occurrence of Oil Gas On land Offshore Continental Shelves Deep sea Deserts Wetlands Forests Mountainous areas Arctic Region Environmental Impact Atmospheric impacts flaring, venting and purging gases combustion processes such as diesel engines and gas turbines fugitive gases from loading operations and losses from process equipment airborne particulates from soil disturbance during construction and from vehicle traffic The principal emission gases include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, volatile organic carbons and nitrogen oxides Environmental Impact (Contd.) Aquatic impacts produced water drilling fluids, cuttings and well treatment chemicals process, wash and drainage water sewerage, sanitary and domestic wastes spills and leakage Environmental Impact (Contd
