Standard Implementation Workshop: Nigeria

(A Workshop Sponsored by the Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership [GGFR])

The first GGFR Standard Roll-Out Workshop, launching the implementation of the Voluntary Standard for the Reduction of Global Venting and Flaring of Associated Gas, in Nigeria was held November 9-10 in Abuja. The 2-day workshop was jointly hosted by the Government of Nigeria, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company and the World Bank on behalf of the Global Gas Flaring Reduction Public-Private Partnership (GGFR).

The Workshop was aimed at supporting Nigeria to reach the national target of zero flaring by 2008, using the Standard as a tool, and generating understanding and acceptance of the Standard among local stakeholders

Implementing the Standard and following up on the conclusions of the workshop will encourage utilization of associated natural gas, spur the growth of domestic gas markets, and reduce barriers to gas market access, as well as bring down greenhouse gas emissions from venting and flaring. The implementation of the Standard will thus lead to the deepening of sustainable development practices in the hydrocarbons sector.
