Methodical questions of an estimation of the total volume of gas flaring in the territory of the oil-producing regions, using data on the number of operating in the territory of flares, determined on the basis of satellite images. Based on regression analysis determined the relationship between the volumes of burning gas throughout the oil production areas in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug (KMAO) and the number of operating flares in the territory, which is defined on the basis of satellite images of medium resolution Landsat 8 for the period 2013-2015. Using the obtained regression equation determined value of the volume of flaring gas in the territory of the KMAO during the first half of 2016 are in according with the official data.
Materials and methods
The study was performed using methods of remote sensing of the Earth from space, and regression analysis of statistical data.
Results
The interrelation between the volume of flared gas per quarter throughout the territory of oil production in the KMAO and the amount of acting flares on the territory, defined on the basis of satellite images Landsat 8.
Сonclusions
This paper proposes a new approach to the assessment of the volume of flared gas in the oil-producing area. The approach is based on the number of flares derived from satellite imagery.
