Develop~~~t~~ ~;6~~~du re(s and technologies to reduce gas flaring
Development of integrated gas transport systems
Gas storage solutions
More focus on enhanced oil recovery - easy access to gas
in some cases increased field
development costs

~ fiSt.Some comments.. NPI
• • Environmental standards are easier to adapt in pre-development phase
than in production phase
• Gas infrastructure - investments in infrastructure, 3rd party ~ss, tax deductability (t'irIJ~) riWv!'~''''aJ ?)
• Probably harder to reduce flaring in remote areas without gas pipelines .--;

• Approx. 20 - 40 % of flaring is continuous flaring while the remaing share is caused by events ana misliaps to secure safety and operational purposes
