Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership
• GGFR was formed at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in August 2002
• Objective is to support the efforts of national governments and the petroleum industry to reduce flaring and venting of associated gas
• Leading to sustainable resource development– Promoting efficient use– Reducing environmental effects– Reducing poverty
7
Background of Global Flaring• Global venting and flaring level over
100 bcm/year, equal to:• current African flare volumes (37
Bcm) could produce about 50 percent of the current power consumption in Africa and more than twice the level of power consumption in Sub-Saharan Africa (excluding South Africa).
• >10 percent of committed emission reductions by developed countries under the Kyoto Protocol for the period 2008-2012.
• This level has stayed constant for the last 20 years
• 80% of global venting and flaring occurs in fewer than 15 countries
• Reliability of available data varies widely
8
Key GGFR Accomplishments
• A significant representation of world gas flaring in the Partnership– Currently 42% , 75% including OPEC secretariat.
• Global deliverables– A global standard for flaring and venting
• Agreed among Partners May 2004– Regulatory Best practices– Carbon credit financing
• Local Public Private Partnerships under implementation– Associated gas recovery plans (companies)– Governments: supportive measures
• Demonstration projects with all Partners

Outline
• Issues and Opportunities• Aspirations• Obstacles• Response
18
Issues and Opportunities
• Major reserves and significant productionBut,
• Limited exploration for gas• Massive flaring• Unexploited market opportunities• Dysfunctional power sector
19
Aspirations
• Capture economic value• End flaring• Develop domestic market• Increase private sector participation
20
Obstacles
• Strategic vacuum• Policy vacuum• Institutional arrangements• Legal and regulatory framework• Pricing and fiscal regimes• Financing requirements
21
Response
• Natural Gas Strategy• Natural Gas Policy• Downstream Gas Act (DGA)• Fiscal reform (NGFRA)• Action plan
22
Natural Gas Strategy
• Views sector as a whole• Identifies opportunities and options• Sets priorities and selection criteria• Identifies policy issues to be addressed
23
Policy (Institutional Arrangements)
• Definition of sector roles and responsibilities
• Establish a regulatory agency (GRC)• Unbundle existing state monopoly (NGC,
NGTC)• Promote new entry and competition• DGA and regulations
24
Policy (Pricing and Fiscal Regimes)
• Transparent, cost recovery pricing• Explicit subsidies• Transitional pricing regime• Uniform, non-discriminatory tax regime• Rent capture• DGA and NGFRA
25
Policy (Financing)
• Private sector emphasis• Implement required reforms• Address payment and FX risks• Limited public sector participation
(strategic or major domestic infrastructure)
26
Action Plan• September 04: draft legislation; submit
budget for GRC; NGC unbundled, NGTC incorporated…
• October 04: legislation to National Assembly
• March 05: legislation passed• June 05: GRC appointed and
operational• March 06: “Go live”; 12 months fine-
tuning
27
Assessment• High marks, with reservations• Critical, timely, major undertaking• Thorough preparation (mostly)• Transparent process (mostly)• Extensive stakeholder consultation (with
lapses)• Weak inter-agency coordination• Optimistic assessment of National Assembly
action• Incomplete preparation for implementation
28
Subramaniam V. IyerLink to Power Sector
29
State of the Nigerian Power Sector….• History of focus on generation - large plants,
economies of scale etc.• Distribution neglected - led to declining
revenues and growing inability to support generation in a business like way.
• Government unable to implement cost-reflective tariffs or force better performance
• Results:– Dwindling resources for new investment– Declining levels of power availability and customer service– Growing share of public budget required to just keep system
“alive”
30
So what is being done in Nigeria?
• Twin approaches:– Speedy sector reforms: new legislation,
regulation, unbundling, creation of viable and creditworthy business model and private participation.
– Second track to commercialize the business in the near term through CREST(Commercial Re-orientation of the Electricity Sector Toolkit)
31
Nigeria: Power Demand
32
Gas/power project development• Under the reform track, assuming sector
readiness to support large IPPs three years down the road– A gas pipeline project to carry gas from south to
north is being developed (with PPP). – Private IPPs to serve power demand are
envisaged along the pipeline corridor– Feasibility and initial development work has
commenced.– Co-gen and commercial gas market to be
developed e.g. cement plant, steel mill
33
The CREST approach• Track 1 – commercialize distribution to
mitigate risks, create value and ensure better customer service
• Track 2 – private generation with direct access to serve demand in lieu of PPAs
• Track 3 – Expand access and increase future demand through more efficient business models
34
Illustration with Port Harcourt
• Registered demand 300MW, with un-served demand of 100MW; Total 400MW
• Peak NEPA supply possible ~ 200MW, leaving half the customers without power
• Track 2 approach could envisage dividing P. Harcourt into 2-3 ring-fenced clusters with potential demand ~150 MW each
• New Distribution licensees could contract new G2P power injection of 70-80 MW each to augment committed supply from NEPA.
35
Some issues on this approach …
• Does current and future legal framework allow such a cluster approach?
• Can potential licensees handle the distribution risks?
• How will tariffs be handled?• How will the clusters and the licensees be
selected?• Is this cherry picking? • How would NEPA’s (and the sector’s) cross-
subsidy interests be protected?

Gas Flaring reduction: an early Sonatrach’s target
Associated gas reinjection in oil fields to enhance oil recoveryGas lift systems, using associated gasUsing associated gas as fuel for utilities (furnaces, boilers, turbines…etc)Constructing a huge gas transport network in order to monetise gasLPG and condensate recovery from associated gas.
Since the early seventies, Sonatrach has set up as an objective to reduce gas flaring in its main fields, through different schemes:

GGFR – Algeria work program
• 1. Associated Gas Utilisation Study– Together with Sonatrach, three areas have
been selected where flaring remains significant. These areas are Ohanet, Tin Fouye Tabankort (TFT) and In Amenas, with a combined 2003 flared gas volume of 1.3 BCM.
• 2. CDM Capacity Building
42
Objectives of the Algeria CDM Capacity Building Project
• Create a Process to develop CDM projects• Develop methodology for associated gas
utilisation (capture & transport)• Lay basis for the creation of a Designated
National Authority (DNA)
43

CDM Capacity Building Pilot Project for Gas Flaring Reduction in Algeria
• The project will support the country’s overall development and sectoral policies in that the gas will be used productively downstream and totally eliminate the flaring on-site.
• According to the study results, – The project needs an investment
capital of 25.5 million US$– The flaring reduction is about 1.8
billion CM over the lifetime of the CDM project (14 years).
– CO2 emissions reduction will be approximately 5.7 million tons of CO2 equivalent

45
PIN• The task force (Sonatrach and MEM)
identified several potential projects both upstream and in the LNG operations.
• The transport division also reviewed its operations to see if any significant flaring or venting of gas could be identified (none were identified).
• These projects were then prepared to the PIN level and then a single project was selected for development into a PDD.
46
Ohanet results• Based on the methodology, the Ohanet
project to capture and transport of currently flared associated gas clearly qualifies for CDM designations.
• It is additional and results in real, measurable and long-term emission reductions of GHGs.
• It would reduce CO2 emissions significantly below the baseline (approximately 5.67 million tons.)

48
Notable results to date• The development of a core group with Sonatrach
and the Ministry of Energy and Mines, now well versed on Kyoto concepts and the development of CDM projects related to gas flaring.
• The screening of several projects to the PIN level and the selection and development of one pilot project to the PDD level.
• The building of a broad understanding of the need for, and function of, a DNA. Most likely the DNA will be housed at a to be created national agency for climate change (ANCC).
• Development of CDM Methodology for gas flaring reduction
49
Benefits of Project to Algeria
• Less wastage of a natural/national resource
• Process for the possible development of marginal projects
• Support sustainable development goals• Access to new financial resources (carbon
credits)• Participation in international
environmental issues

Regulatory role: Developing Sustainable Development (SD)
Criteria
• Evaluation & approval process = assessing & confirming project’s contribution to SD criteria
• Definition of SD open to interpretation – Environmental protection– Social advancement– Economic development
• Countries either have SD criteria:– Well-established which can be applied to CDM– Not well defined and need to be identified addressing unique
conditions of the country
55
Objectives for Gas Sector Policy
• Extend gas penetration • Enabling and transparent environment
for investors in the gas sector• Streamline the permitting process for
gas projects• Capture economic value of gas and
generate as much revenue from gas as from oil
56
Main barriers to gas development
• Absence of a formal gas policy • Industry structure, Institutional, Legal and
Regulatory framework– Conflict of interest
• PSC gas terms• Petroleum Fiscal System• Gas pricing• Infrastructure constraints and access• Funding constraints
57
Solutions
• Strategic gas plan for Nigeria• Power sector reform• Downstream gas act• Petroleum Fiscal reform• Gas Development agreement for PSC• Gas pricing• Government funding for strategic projects• Stakeholder co-operation
