Congo_Lower Congo_Heavy oil

Congo_Lower Congo_Heavy oil is an oil & gas field in Congo. It extracts crude oil and natural gas at the wellhead. It emits about 260,125 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 60,635 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-53058688.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

Sous-secteur: oil-and-gas-production. Les champs pétroliers et gaziers et les installations d'extraction exploitent des compresseurs, équipements de séparation et unités de traitement chauffées; la perte de chaleur par la vapeur et les tuyauteries chaudes réduit l'efficacité d'extraction.
