Gas flaring is the burning of crude oil to either get rid of excess oil or to relieve well pressure as a safety precaution. This practice of burning oil is a major environmental problem, as it currently contributes to more than %1 of global emissions of CO2.
Shell, an oil company, decided that their project to cut down on gas flaring will have 26 flow stations in the Niger Delta. Shell says it has already spent more than 3 billion dollars in 32 flow stations in this region.
MY REACTIONS: I think gas flaring all over should stop because it has extremely negative effects on our environment. I would like to learn more about flow stations.
