EXCESS GAS COMBUSTION IN HEAVY OIL PRODUCTION

摘要

A system and method for vent gas combustion in storage tank for heavy oil production is provided. Auxiliary burners located are provided for combusting the well casing gas. A burner management system for controlling the auxiliary burners is provided which receives a gas pressure value and initiates the auxiliary burners based upon one or more threshold values when the gas pressure exceeds the one or more pressure values. An auxiliary exhaust stack may be collocated with a main exhaust stack of a tank heater for the storage tank.
