Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 of 21 June 2012 on the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance) (repealed)

B.2.Vented and fugitive emissions from enhanced hydrocarbon recovery operationsU.K.

Each operator shall consider the following potential additional emission sources from enhanced hydrocarbon recovery (EHR):

(a)

the oil-gas separation units and gas recycling plant, where fugitive emissions of CO2 could occur;

(b)

the flare stack, where emissions might occur due to the application of continuous positive purge systems and during depressurisation of the hydrocarbon production installation;

(c)

the CO2 purge system, to avoid high concentrations of CO2 extinguishing the flare.

Each operator shall determine fugitive emissions or vented CO2 in accordance with subsection B.1 of this section of Annex IV.

Each operator shall determine emissions from the flare stack in accordance with subsection D of section 1 of this Annex, taking into account potential inherent CO2 in the flare gas in accordance with Article 48.
