Seeking a World Free of
Routine Gas Flaring and Venting

“Reducing gas flaring is a major undertaking
in the Nigerian oil and gas industry that
requires significant effort and investment
for gas gathering and market development.
SPDC is committing about $6 billion towards
gathering some 90% of flared gas. The
GGFR has facilitated a collaborative effort
to achieve results on the ground and is
also empowering third party companies to
utilize the small remaining flare volumes for
Gas-to-Power and Gas-To-Liquid solutions.
This is an approach we fully support.”
Mutiu Sunmonu, Country Chair Shell Companies
in Nigeria, and Managing Director, Shell Petroleum
Development Company



“The GGFR Partnership is helping us to
promote associated gas as an opportunity
rather than a liability. This is a crucial step
to understand that valuing associated gas
requires a change of mind, it means evolving
from the age of oil to the age of gas.”
Henri Ekoulé, Technical Manager, Africa,
Total Exploration & Production
