The article considers approaches to the analysis and evaluation of the possibility of effective use of associated petroleum gas (APG) at the fields of the Samara region. A selection of the observed objects of Samaraneftegas JSC was carried out to assess APG in flares and check the characteristic indicators of their condition for evaluation as a solution for the possible development of more intensive use of APG. The quantitative criterion for selecting a cluster of candidate facilities was limited by intersection of a certain volume of gas flaring (at least 5 mln m3 per year) and a low degree of utilization of the facility in question as a whole (up to 75-77%). For a selected group of facilities, each of which, for the purpose of depersonalization, is called a licensed area, characterized by a serial number and gas flaring volume, calculations were made to model the relative unit costs of capital investments for a number of classical and often used in practice optimization measures use of APG. It is noted that the wells production in the Volga region quite often is sulfurous and hydrogen sulfide-containing oil, which objectively reduces the profitability of using petroleum gas in local areas of oil fields. The need for a detailed study of the use of APG resources in relation to the conditions of the Volga region is emphasized, in order to take into account, in each specific case, the specifics of the state of the oilfield infrastructure, gas quality, and the need for energy of one kind or another.
