The Joint Venture between TotalEnergies and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) has declared that, it has achieved 0% regular gas flare in all of its assets.
This is in an effort to meet the 20% (unconditional) and 47% (conditional) reductions in greenhouse gas emissions outlined in the Nationally Determined Contribution under the Paris Accord signed by the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This was contained in a statement released by NNPCL’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi O. Soneye.
on Thursday during an inspection tour of OML 100 in South-eastern Niger Delta, off Port Harcourt, by a joint NNPC Ltd and TotalEnergies Team to ascertain the success of the OML Flare Reduction Project launched in December 2023.
The NNPC Ltd/TotalEnergies Joint Venture, which is the concession holder of four leases, had hitherto achieved zero routine flaring across OML 99 (2006), OML 102 (2014), and OML 58 (2016), leaving OML 100 as the only lease with routine flaring going on.
“The significance of this achievement is that the last routine flare volume of about 12MMscf/d (twelve million standard cubic feet per day) of gas has now been eliminated giving rise to a greenhouse gas emissions reduction of about 341KtCO₂e/yr. “Work is ongoing across all other assets within NNPC Ltd’s Upstream Directorate to ensure that all assets achieve zero routine flaring by 2030 or earlier,” Soneye added.
