1.0 GENERAL
1.1 Project Background

In line with Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) philosophy of contributing in a
sustainable manner to society’s energy needs that is vital to run our economies
and maintenance of our wellbeing, the COMPANY has been in the forefront of
valorization, utilization and conservation of the gas resources associated with our
production. In the effort to continue with improvements in implementation of the
framework of the comprehensive gas master plan (GMP) and a zero gas flaring
policy, the COMPANY, under its head office directive, embarked upon a
campaign, with the primary purpose of establishing the viability of eliminating the
gas currently being flared in the Land Area (LAR) operations. The above
objectives are geared towards pursuing carbon neutrality to ensuring zero carbon
footprints in the organization.
The studies involving evaluation and concept selection which is tied into the flare-
down initiative is being initiated to evaluate the concept and possible options to
achieve total flare-down in LAR.
The current document thereby represents the framework of an overall Concept

and Plan for the Gas Flare down initiative in Land Area (LAR) operations. Going
by the differences in the current situations among the various locations, the
evaluation and selection studies shall identify and consider the peculiarities
associated with each location in the final analysis and choice of concepts and
options to flare down the gas. These shall take into consideration all possible
factors. Further detailed studies shall be prepared to support appropriate
investment proposals for the options in each location.

evaluation and selection phase of the project development to support the final
decision for the implementation of a ”gas flare down” within the frame of NAOC
LAR stations.
The Project is based on the strategy to valorize/utilize the gas resources
associated with the COMPANY’s production that is being flared.
 Recovery of flare sources including but not limited to ATM, LLP, LP flared
gases
 Check/verify existing facility capacities and capacity availability for new mop-
ups
The overall flare-down strategy foresee the following stations in LAR:

 Akri flowstation
 Ebocha Oil Center (EOC)
 Idu flowstation
 Irri Flowstation
 Kwale gas plant
 OB/OB gas plant
 Oshie flowstation
 Samabiri/Biseni Cluster
The above shall be analyzed and evaluated in more detail, complete with
appropriate cost-benefit analyses to guide selection decisions.
This document refers to the first two phases of the Project development – Concept
Evaluation and Concept Selection phases which will be carried out in compliance
with the Opportunity and Project Development (OPD) of Eni System as shown in
