| Abstract | In many decades, crud oil and natural gas have become essential energy resources in the industrial development of all countries in the world. It has been enormously forcing the development of petroleum operations. The life cycle of petroleum operations includes exploration and development, production, refining, marketing, transportation distribution to the end-user, and final utilization. New scientific technologies have been increasingly applied in all life cycle of petroleum operations. Even though petroleum operations have been based on solid scientific excellence and engineering marvels, only recently has it been discovered that many of the practices are not environmentally sustainable. Practically all life-cycle activities of hydrocarbon operations are accompanied by undesirable discharges of liquid, solid, and gaseous wastes, CO2 emission by gas flaring which have an enormous impact on the environment. For example, during drilling, water-based drilling muds and cuttings are discharged overboard, whereas during production, the major discharge is produced water. The ecological impacts of these discharges, including habitat destruction and fragmentation in both terrestrial and aquatic environments, are now recognized as major concerns associated with petroleum and natural gas developments. Consequently, reducing environmental impact is the most pressing issue today and many environmentalist groups are calling for curtailing petroleum operations altogether. By developing new technologies that guarantee sustainability in hydrocarbon operations, these problems have been solved in environmentally acceptable, economically profitable, and socially responsible manner. Besides, petroleum operations must be commenced in conformity with the Law and Regulations relating to the economical usage of all natural resources. Thus, either enterprises or contractors involved in petroleum operations have great responsibility for the planning, appraisal, approval or commencement of oil field development project in compliance with the regulations of environment, technology, preservation and economical use of petroleum. With this study, an acceptable solution for the integrating the Gas Gathering Pipeline System with Block 16-1 Te Giac Trang and Block 15–2/1 Hai Su Trang - Hai Su Den Offshore Vietnam Field Development Project have been chosen to undertake with the purpose of encouraging the early development of such offshore Oil Fields and commencing the economical use of associated gases. |
