Description
Summary:The Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is one of the gases that play significant roles in greenhouse effect and cases global warming. In order to determine the concentration values of carbon dioxide emissions from the Garraf Oil Field (GOF) towards the surrounding areas and cities used the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) method. The results shown that the most of values of CO2 emissions from towards two cities the city of Al-Rifai, which amounted to about (41.790%), then the city of Qalaat Sukkar with a percentage of about (26.210 %), then Al-Nasr district with a percentage of (21%), and the least effect of the emissions percentage was on Al-Fajr city by about (11%). The most important factors affecting the spread of carbon dioxide desperation were the direction and speed of the wind, as well as the distance from the isolation area and oil wells in the field, which affect these areas in the emission of gases. The high CO2 concentration found in Southwest of GOF, opposite direction of wind speed. The inversely proportional found between CO2 concentration and the distance from GOF. The lowest CO2 concentration found was (410 ppm) at (8 km). CO2 emission concentration was toward Al-Rifai city and other area near it about 41.79%, Qal’at Sukkar city with other area near it about 26.210%, Al Nasr city about 21% and Al fajr city about 11%. This result refer to the wind direction and distance from the GOF. The objective analysis that explain there are two main reasons for CO2 dispersion, that wind direction, and CO2 emissions.
