The article is devoted to the optimization of the combustion process of hydrocarbon gas in a group of offshore oil production platforms located close to each other. The problem of optimizing the process of group combustion of hydrocarbon gas in the torch was designed and solved. It has been shown that when the total temperature of the torches is limited, the dependence of the torch volume on the cube root of its temperature can be used to minimize the amount of gas used for lighting the torches in the considered group. is inversely proportional to the orderly arrangement of flares, which increase linearly in size. Based on the obtained results, recommendations have been developed for removing hydrocarbon gas from such combustion mode in practice.
