Ethics - 10

What is the primary purpose of a flare system in oil and gas operations?  

• To generate electricity  

• To dispose of hydrocarbons by combustion  

• To store excess gas  

• To enhance oil extraction  

Which of the following best describes "clustering" in the context of flare systems?  

• The process of burning waste gas  

• The joining of flare lines from different units into the main flare header  

• The collection of emissions from a single source  

• The installation of multiple flare stacks in one location  

How does flaring contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions?  

• By completely eliminating emissions  

• By storing emissions underground  

• By preventing gas leaks  

• By converting harmful gases into less harmful substances  

Which emissions are commonly produced during improperly operated flaring activities?  

• Oxygen and nitrogen  

• Hydrogen and carbon monoxide  

• Argon and helium  

• Methane and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)  

What is a key reason for conducting routine flaring?  

• To manage gas during compression and processing  

• To test new flare technologies  

• To reduce operational costs  

• To increase production rates  

In which scenario would non-routine flaring most likely occur?  

• During routine gas processing  

• During the installation of new equipment  

• During an emergency situation  

• During regular maintenance checks  

Which strategy is NOT part of achieving net zero emissions?  

• Transitioning to renewable energy sources  

• Implementing energy efficiency measures  

• Carbon capture and storage (CCS)  

• Increasing fossil fuel consumption  

What is the role of electronic sensors in flare systems?  

• To enhance the combustion process  

• To measure the amount of dangerous gases emitted  

• To control the temperature of the flare  

• To automate the flaring process  

Which of the following is a potential consequence of improper flaring operations?  

• Increased energy efficiency  

• Reduction in acid rain  

• Contribution to global warming  

• Enhanced air quality  

What is the environmental impact of flaring in terms of acid rain?  

• Flaring eliminates the risk of acid rain  

• Flaring contributes to the formation of acid rain through NOx and SO2 emissions  

• Flaring has no effect on acid rain  

• Flaring reduces the acidity of rainwater
