KOC 1% Gas Flaring Target

Gas flaring is increasingly recognized as a major<br>environmental problem, contributing more than 1% to<br>global emissions of CO2 in addition to its valuable<br>resource. At KOC an effective utilization of associated<br>gas in all fields became a serious concern in 1995 and<br>ongoing efforts were put in place for minimizing gas<br>flaring. Detailed exercises were carried out in 1996/1999<br>for identifying causes, establishing action plans, and<br>setting allowable targets.
