Oil & gas fields are rich in pressure energy resources and have great potential to develop and utilize waste natural pressure gas for power generation. The current technologies and equipment are still not mature enough, which impacts the large-scale benefit development of waste pressure power generation project, so it is in urgent need to improve the economy of the project through carbon asset development. In order to promote the healthy and sustainable development of the waste natural gas pressure power generation industry and help oil & gasfield enterprises achieve the "dual carbon" goal as scheduled and the large-scale benefit development of new energy business, this paper evaluates the feasibility of the carbon asset development of the oil & gasfield's waste pressure power generation project, measures the impact of carbon asset development on the income of waste natural gas pressure power generation project, and analyzes the feasibility of the carbon asset development of the project. And the following research results are obtained. First, referring to the current carbon market price, the annual emission reduction income per unit installed capacity of waste natural gas pressure power generation is 188 yuan/kWh, which is much higher than that of onshore wind power and photovoltaic project, but the annual emission reduction income per unit investment is lower than that of onshore wind power project and basically the same as that of photovoltaic projects. Second, the feasibility of carbon asset development of waste pressure power generation project is demonstrated from the aspects of methodology, additionality, monitoring feasibility, emission reduction and income evaluation. Third, there is no technical difficulty in carbon asset development and monitoring management of waste natural gas pressure power generation project, but due to the small scale of the project, the development income of a single project is not economically feasible. It is suggested to design multiple project feasibility schemes as a whole and perform bundled development of carbon assets. Fourth, the carbon asset development of waste pressure power generation can be promoted by taking the following 4 measures, i.e., improving the development rules for special types of projects, establishing positive technology list suitable for China's "dual carbon" work development strategy, adopting digital management to improve development efficiency, and applying carbon financial tools.
