Associated petroleum gas flared and its utilization rate
Twenty point five billion cubic meters of gas were flared in 2019, and this indicator, along with the gas utilization rate in percent, is tracked through 2023. The table rows separate the absolute volume of flared associated petroleum gas and the share of its beneficial use in percent, allowing for a comparison of environmental impact with processing efficiency. The series covers a five-year period and reflects annual changes in the country's oil and gas industry

Set in numbers
The table holds 2 series, running from 2019 to 2023, 5 reporting periods. 10 values in total.
Between 2019 and 2023 “Associated petroleum gas from oil fields flared, billion m3” rose from 20.5 to 21.8 — 6.3%. The lowest value in the series is 19.4 in 2020.
All table numbers are series: 2
| Series | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Газ нефтяной попутный нефтяных месторождений, сожженный на факельных установках, млрд м3 | 20,50 | 19,40 | 19,70 | 20,50 | 21,80 |
| Уровень использования нефтяного попутного газа, в процентах от объема добычи газа | 82,40 | 83,10 | 83,70 | 83,10 | 82,80 |
How to read this table
Comparing these two rows helps show how flaring intensity of associated gas has changed and how effectively it was utilized in production over five years. The first row records the physical volume of gas sent to flare installations, while the second row shows the relative share of this resource's utilization. The separation into absolute values and a percentage share allows for an assessment of associated gas utilization dynamics at Russian oil fields independent of production scales

Period and application
The statistics cover the period from 2019 to 2023 and are regularly updated by Rosstat as part of environmental protection reports. This information is useful for environmentalists, energy sector analysts, and specialists monitoring natural resource utilization efficiency and air quality in oil-producing regions. The data allows for an assessment of progress in reducing associated gas flaring and the dynamics of the transition toward more efficient hydrocarbon use in industry
