Flaring and venting of natural gas wastes resources and harms the environment. Yet significant opportunities exist to utilize this wasted gas.

This two-day Global Forum will bring together high-level representatives from governments, oil and gas companies, international financial organizations, and technology and service providers to discuss options for increasing the utilization of gas associated with crude oil production.

Through a series of panel discussions, case studies and presentations, the Global Forum will focus on:

• Policies and regulations that enable flare and vent reduction investments
• Opportunities to improve economics of flare and vent reduction investments
• Potential contributions of emerging flare gas utilization technologies
• Best practices in the use of established flare gas utilization technologies

An event organized by…

• The World Bank-led Global Gas Flaring Reduction partnership (GGFR)
• Methane to Markets (M2M) partnership
• US Environmental Protection Agency’s Natural Gas STAR program
• The International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (OGP)

…and sponsored by major oil companies, including:

Shell, Chevron, Total, ExxonMobil, BP

Our world needs cleaner energy resources like natural gas. Yet each year enough natural gas to supply 1/3 of Europe’s consumption is burned or flared at oil fields across the globe generating some 400 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions.

Major oil producing countries and companies are determined to reduce this waste by jointly overcoming the challenges that inhibit more gas utilization.

Come to the Global Forum and Join the Efforts to Reduce Gas Flaring
