It represents a 79.5 per cent increase against 50.3mscf of gas flared in 2022 in Nigeria.

Consequently, the oil-producing firms responsible for this flaring are expected to pay penalties of $184.6 million (an equivalent of N85.7 billion) for breaching the gas flaring laws in the four months.

The report also noted that the volume of gas flared in the four months is equivalent to 4.9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emission and has a power generation potential of 9,200 gigawatts of electricity per hour.

On a month-on-month basis, the report noted that in January, February, March and April, 23.2 mscf, 27.1 mscf, 25.9 mscf and 16.1 mscf of gas were flared in Nigeria, respectively.
