Chevron has announced a 98% reduction in gas flaring across its Nigerian operations, marking a significant shift in how the supermajor manages associated gas in the region.
The disclosure was made by Victor Anyaegbudike, Chevron’s Communications Manager, during a capacity training session for energy correspondents in Abuja on Tuesday.
The company framed the reduction as a key operational milestone, reflecting improved infrastructure and gas utilization strategies.
The move underscores Chevron’s broader strategy to minimize waste and enhance asset efficiency in West Africa.
By capturing gas that would otherwise be burned, the company can potentially feed it into local power generation or export markets, turning a liability into a revenue stream.
This operational pivot aligns with increasing regulatory and investor pressure on major oil producers to reduce their carbon footprint and improve environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics.
