“…While the decrees require all sites to have measuring equipment, and penalizes those without them with a severe fine multiplier, many sites remained from 2012 to 2020 without meters. In effect, when the decrees entered into force according to the Russian Accounts Chamber, only 50% of sites were equipped for measuring flaring (Loe and Ladehaug, 2012). "It should also be noted that not all meters are reliable, some may be switched on and off, and some fields may go from flaring to venting ahead of an inspection" (Respondent 4).…”

“…In order for it to be economically worth it for an oil producer to utilize its APG, the prices for the gas have to be sufficiently high to cover processing and/or transport costs. The domestic price level is set by the state and is kept much lower than export prices (Loe and Ladehaug, 2012). This stems from the governmental desire to keep peace and social stability, as the population historically has come to expect that the country's natural resources belong to the entire population.…”

“…In 2009, the Causes and Mechanisms of Global Warming/Climate Change DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.101416 Associated Petroleum Gas countries agreed to reduce the output of flared gas by 95% by January 2012. Unfortunately, Russia failed to meet these standards [64] although there had been a vast improvement. The effect of flaring is that it directly heats the passing Arctic air and combined with the geothermal heating of the air by the oil and gas in the pipelines, it causes a rise in the mean annual air temperature…”

Comparison of the average mean surface air temperature around the world during 1951–1978 with that for 2010–2019 shows that the bulk of the warming is around the North Atlantic/Arctic region in contrast to the Antarctic ice sheet. Obviously, the temperature change is not global. Since there is a substantial difference between solar heat absorption between the equator and the poles, heat must be moving to the North Pole by surface ocean currents and tropical cyclones. The cold, dry Arctic air coming from Siberia picks up heat and moisture from the open oceans, making the sea water denser so that the warm water sinks slowly down to c. 2000 m. A deep-water thermohaline flow (THC) transports the excess hot (c. 18°C) water south to Antarctica. It is replaced by a cold (c. 2°C) surface water from that area. The latter quickly cool western Europe and Siberia, and glaciers start to advance in Greenland within about 10 years. The THC flow decreases in Interglacials, causing the increased build-up of heat in the Northern Hemisphere (c. 60% currently stored in the Atlantic Ocean), and the ice cover in the Arctic Ocean thaws. Several such cycles may take place during a single major cold event.

“…Table 5 presents the key impediments to realizing zero gas flaring so far. Sources: Loe & Ladehaug, 2012;Orji, 2012;Hassan & Kouhy, 2013 Although Nigeria has not realized zero gas flaring, it has made modest progress as attested by the steady downward trend in the volume of flared gas since 2010. For instance, while the percentage of gas flared as opposed to gas produced was 19.32 percent in 2010, the figure consistently reduced year-on-year to 10.65 percent in 2016 before going up in 2017 to 11.05 percent and down to 11.04 percent in 2018 (DPR, 2018).…”

This paper evaluates Nigeria's commitment to ending gas flaring within the context of the global quest for zero routine flaring by 2030. Nigeria has adopted a combination of strategies since 1969 to achieve zero flaring. Within this period, several unrealized flare-out dates were set. Several factors are responsible for the non-realization of the flare-out targets. These include Nigeria's weak institutional framework, the unattractiveness of economic payoffs associated with investing in gas-gathering infrastructure and the unwillingness of international oil companies (IOCs) to readjust their operations to accommodate zero gas flaring. Using data from secondary sources, the paper locates the non-realization of the various flare-out dates between legal enactments and economic permutations. A related factor is the huge capital outlay required to develop gas-gathering infrastructure vis-à-vis the uncertainty surrounding the gas market in Nigeria. The paper recommends the adoption of a holistic implementation strategy as a stimulus to extract commitments from all stakeholders towards zero gas flaring by 2030.
