Nigeria Loses N891bn To Gas Flaring

A data released by the Nigerian Oil Spill Monitor, an arm of the Nigerian Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency, NOSDRA, on Sunday shows that Nigeria has lost N891bn to gas flaring in 18 months.

According to the data, Nigeria lost a total of N707bn in 2021 and N184bn in the first half of 2022, totaling N891bn.

According to the NOSDRA report, oil and gas companies operating in the country flared a total of 126 billion standard cubic feet, SCF, of gas in the first half of 2022, leading to a loss of $441.2 million, (about N183.54 bn) in the six-month period.

On the other hand, in 2021, about 23,862.271 barrels of oil (3,770,238.864 litres/119 tanker trucks) were spilled.

Brent International was sold for an average of $71 per barrel in 2021, bringing total revenue loss in that year to $1.7m.

The estimation put the equivalent of the volume of gas flared in the first half of 2022 to carbon dioxide, CO2 emission of 6.7 million tonnes in the oil producing areas, 4.56 per cent higher than the 120.5 billion SCF of gas flared in the second half of 2021, and capable of generating 12,600 gigawatts hours of electricity.
