The article discusses effective ways to reduce the cost of operating vapor recovery units and increase the financial result of their operation. The first method is based on regulation of the power-on time of the installation. The second method is based on using the potential energy of the fluid flow of the gravity section to supply the system equipment with energy. The potential savings on VRU maintenance will reduce the risks of payback of installations. The proposed methods will have a significant impact on society, as the possibility of a wider distribution of installations that protect the environment from emissions of volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere will become available.

The main problem still remains a rather low level of useful use of associated components of oil production and, consequently, a high percentage of combustion of associated hydrocarbon compounds. In addition, companies are increasing the amount of costs aimed at reducing volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxide every year, which significantly reduces the productivity of equipment. Based on the analysis of existing practices, the economic prospects are evaluated and recommendations for the targeted use of APG are formulated. The study briefly outlines technologies for reducing on-site flaring that are applicable in hard-to-recover oil fields. Information on technologies is collected and evaluated from a review of previous studies, technical documents, and analysis of open international sourcess.
