The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) and First Exploration & Petroleum Development Company Limited (First E&P) Joint Venture (JV) has successfully achieved 96 per cent reduction in routine flaring of associated gas (AG) from the Anyala (OML 83) and Madu (OML 85) fields.

This is seen as a significant stride towards supporting Nigeria’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent unconditionally and 47 per cent conditionally, as  stipulated in the Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement.

This remarkable milestone was attained through the implementation of an AG reinjection strategy into a designated underground storage reservoir at the Madu field, situated in OML 85, offshore Bayelsa State.

The initiative ensures that gas, which would have otherwise been flared, is now safely stored, significantly mitigating environmental impact. The reduction in AG flaring aligns with the regulatory framework set forth by the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), underscoring the JV’s compliance with national environmental standards and global best practices.

Commenting on this achievement, the group chief executive officer of NNPC Ltd, Mele Kyari, stated that: “This achievement underscores our commitment to leveraging resources responsibly and optimising production to meet energy needs and sustainability goals. It reflects our commitment to aligning our operations with global standards and environmental best practices.”

Similarly, MD/CEO of FIRST E&P, Ademola Adeyemi-Bero remarked: “This milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and

responsible energy production. By substantially reducing our carbon footprint, we are contributing to a sustainable energy future that benefits both the environment  and the communities we serve.”

Building on this success, the JV remains focused on commercialising the stored gas and other stranded gas resources within the Niger Delta, reinforcing its dedication to environmental stewardship and the advancement of sustainable energy solutions.
