⚙️ Sinoenergy’s Engineered Approach to Flare Gas Power

Sinoenergy has developed dedicated gas generator sets optimized for flare gas applications. These systems are engineered to handle unstable gas compositions, including low methane concentrations, variable calorific value, high moisture content, and trace contaminants. Our power solutions include knock-resistant engines, adaptive air-fuel ratio control, pre-filtration modules, and automated gas pressure balancing systems—all integrated into a compact, modular layout.

For oilfields lacking power infrastructure, Sinoenergy's skid-mounted gensets can be deployed rapidly with minimal civil works. This enables remote operations to convert flare gas into electricity for field pumps, control rooms, lighting, or to feed mini-grids for nearby communities.

🛡️ Built for Rugged Conditions

African oilfields are often situated in extreme environments—from humid deltas to arid deserts. Sinoenergy’s equipment is IP-rated for dust and moisture protection, with enhanced ventilation systems and corrosion-resistant coatings. Optional canopy enclosures offer sound attenuation and weather shielding, while PLC control systems provide local + remote operation via GSM, satellite, or SCADA interface.

📉 A Global Push: From Methane Pledge to Local Regulation

With the 2021 Global Methane Pledge signed by over 150 countries, reducing methane emissions—particularly from the energy sector—has become a central climate priority. Nigeria, a founding member of the pledge, is now developing APG monetization strategies with incentives for onsite power generation. Flaring penalties are increasing, and oil companies are being asked to capture and utilize waste gas at the wellhead.

💡 Field Deployment Examples

In the Niger Delta region, Sinoenergy deployed a 250kW flare gas genset for a marginal oilfield operator. The unit now powers crude oil separation, lighting, and security systems—eliminating diesel consumption and reducing flaring by 85%. Another project in northern Angola utilized a 150kW bi-fuel engine (flare gas + LPG) to stabilize power in a remote base camp, slashing fuel logistics cost by over 40%.

🧠 Sinoenergy Advantage: Tech + Service

Sinoenergy brings together three decades of gas power R&D and practical experience in flare gas adaptation. From engine combustion simulation to fuel regulation, we offer full-system support—including design consultation, installation supervision, and remote monitoring. Our controllers can automatically adjust ignition timing, pressure, and injection timing to maximize performance across gas quality fluctuations.

🌱 Carbon Credits and Future Opportunity

Capturing flare gas not only saves energy and reduces pollution—it also generates quantifiable climate value. Projects validated under Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) or Gold Standard can earn carbon credits for each ton of CO₂-equivalent avoided. These credits are now monetized via carbon markets, unlocking new financing models for gas-to-power infrastructure across Africa.

Sinoenergy is exploring partnerships with African oilfield service companies and energy ministries to promote flare gas capture as a pathway to clean growth. With the right policy support, local cooperation, and technical adaptation, flare gas can shift from a liability into a strategic power source.
