Gas flaring – what is it?

  • What kind of gas?
  • Gas that is produced in association with oil, but flared instead of used
  • This “associated gas” is a blend of
  • Natural gas used in gas networks – mostly methane gas
  • Heavier types of gas – mostly butane and propane

2

  • As distinguished from “non-associated gas”
  • From gas or gas/condensate fields where the purpose

is to utilize the gas

GGFR

Gas flaring – why does it happen?

  • Infrastructure and markets that are under-developed and poorly

functioning discourage investments in flare elimination

  • Policy environment: Legal, regulatory, investment, and operating

environment often not conducive

3

  • Distance from energy users, gas pipelines, and power networks may

make investments in gas utilization less attractive

  • Gas characteristics for the flared gas may be less favorable
  • Often small, scattered, declining, uncertain gas volumes
  • Still – utilizing associated gas is in most cases “investment” rather

than “cost”

GGFR

Gas flaring – why should it stop?

Globally

  • The CO2 emissions
  • About 350 million tons annually
  • Equivalent to about 77 million cars

4

  • The black carbon from flares…
  • Depositing on snow and ice caps, causing

melting

  • The large volumes
  • About 140 billion cubic meters annually
  • Enough to produce 750 billion kWh power
  • More than the entire power consumption on the African

continent

Gas flaring – why should it stop?

Other reasons

  • It’s a low-hangin

ing frui fruit in in a glob global l clim climate acti ction pla lan

  • Countries are preparing their CO2 emission reduction plans in

preparation for Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC – COP21 in Paris, December 2015.

  • Flaring is an oil production problem,

but…

  • Perceptions taint the entire gas

industry as well

  • The “twin brother” of methane

leakages in the gas supply chain

  • It’s not only about CO2, but also

impacts from black carbon/contaminants

  • Globally on the snow and ice caps
  • Locally on health

Flaring and Black Carbon

6 Model estimates of the % contribution of gas flaring to total surface concentrations of Black Carbon

  • 2013 study (Stohl et al)
  • Worrisome early-stage research
  • Improved modeling of the impact from

gas flaring and household black carbon (BC) emissions in the Arctic

  • Gas flaring may contribute 40% or more

to the BC/soot deposition on snow and ice in the Arctic, thus impacting the reflective power (albedo)

  • Study: “Better quantification of gas

flaring emissions of BC is urgently needed.”

  • GGFR supports research on BC from

gas flaring

  • Flaring reduction work in

Russia even more important

GGFR Background

  • GGFR launched in 2002 at World Summit on Sustainable

Development, Johannesburg

  • Initiated by the World Bank and Norway
  • Objectives
  • Reduce carbon emissions and environmental impact
  • Improve energy efficiency and access to energy
  • Mission statement
  • “GGFR is a catalyst for reducing wasteful and undesirable practices of gas

flaring and venting through policy change, stakeholder facilitation, and project implementation”

  • Locational focus: oil production sites
  • Venting not addressed beyond regulation
  • Venting and leakages are larger issue mid/downstream

GGFR

  • Bi-product – that’s what

associated gas being flared is considered

  • Uncertainty – in gas volume and

production profile hurts market attractiveness

  • Infrastructure – often missing
  • Remote locations – often the case

Flaring Fundamentals

10

  • Domestic markets – often under-

developed

  • Return on investments – high

expectations in the oil industry

  • Oil revenues – governments want

to avoid disruptions
