`Understanding the significance of flaring in offshore, refinery, and petrochemical operations`

Flaring has long been an integral part of offshore oil and gas, refinery, and petrochemical operations, serving as a critical safety mechanism to manage excess gas. However, with increasing environmental regulations and economic pressures, operators are scrutinising their flaring practices to minimise emissions and maximise efficiency..

With government regulations constantly evolving and varying based on localities, being able to isolate sources of fugitive emissions and repair or replace faulty equipment allows customers to remain compliant and avoid costly fines. To aid in this endeavour, Tracerco injects a variety of liquid and gaseous tracers to detect the presence of leaks within equipment whilst remaining fully operational.
