Pressure and Deliverability Testing Oil and Gas Wells Alberta Energy and Utilities board

<<Well test information is second only to production data in
importance for the prudent management of oil or gas reservoirs. As such, well testing is an integral part of the overall production and depletion strategy of a reservoir. The lowest costs and the most benefit are realized when an adequate number of high quality tests are run throughout the producing life of the reservoir. >>

The Disposal of Sour Gas Through Flaring by Oil Companies Robert D. Guy, Dept. of Chemistry, Dalhousie University

<<Sour gas is any gas in its natural state that contains
impurities which form acidic combustion products. Sour gas also contains compounds of sulfur at concentrations exceeding levels for practical use because of their corrosion and toxicity. Sour gas contains over 250 different compounds, some of which are carbon dioxide, methyl mercaptan and hydrogen sulphide...Flaring is a means of safely disposing of waste gases through the use of combustion. With an elevated flare the combustion is carried out at the top of a pipe or stack where the burner and igniter are located.>> Received on Wed Jan 24 13:48:00 2001
