    [size=30]The year of the closure causes a decrease in global gas flaring by 5% ... and Iraq, along with 6 other countries, represents one-third of the gas burned globally.

    Yes Iraq: Baghdad

    The World Bank said that the oil and gas industry witnessed an unprecedented year, as oil production decreased by 8% in 2020, while global gas flaring decreased by 5%.
     
    This came in the new satellite data collected by the World Bank’s Global Partnership to Reduce Gas Flaring.
     
    He added that oil production had decreased from 82 million barrels per day in 2019 to 76 million in 2020, and at the same time, gas flaring worldwide decreased from 150 billion cubic meters in 2019 to 142 million in 2020.
     
    According to the bank, "The world is still burning enough gas to light Sub-Saharan Africa." The United States accounted for 70% of the global decline, as gas flaring decreased by 32% from 2019 to 2020, due to a decrease in oil production by 8%, in addition to the new infrastructure for the use of gas that would otherwise be burned.
     
    Satellite data on gas flaring from 2020 reveals that Russia, Iraq, Iran, the United States, Algeria, Venezuela and Nigeria are still the seven countries that burn gas in a row for nine consecutive years, since the first satellite was launched in 2012 to track gas flaring operations.
     
    These seven countries produce 40% of the world's oil annually, but they account for about two-thirds (65%) of gas flaring operations worldwide. This trend indicates the continuing challenges that these countries face, albeit differentiated.
     
    For example, in the United States there are thousands of individual gas burning sites that are difficult to connect to any market, while the few oil fields that burn large quantities of gas in Eastern Siberia in the Russian Federation are very remote and lack the infrastructure to collect and transport associated gas. .
     
    Gas flaring refers to the burning of natural gas associated with oil extraction, and it occurs due to a host of things ranging from market and economic restrictions and obstacles to a lack of appropriate regulation and political will.
     
    This practice results in a range of pollutants being released into the atmosphere, including carbon dioxide, methane and black carbon (soot). Methane emissions from gas flaring contribute more to global warming in the short to medium term, because methane is more than 80 times stronger on the climate than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period.
     
    “In the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, oil-dependent developing countries are feeling the brunt of the crisis, with revenue and budgetary constraints,” said Dimitrios Papathanasio, General Manager of Global Energy and Extractive Industries at the World Bank. But because gas flaring still releases more than 400 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions each year, it is time to act. We must go ahead with the implementation of plans to significantly reduce direct emissions of the oil and gas sector, including emissions from gas flaring.
     
    The World Bank’s Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership is a trust fund and a partnership between governments, oil companies and multilateral organizations working to end automatic burning of gas at oil production sites around the world. The Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership, in cooperation with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Colorado University of Minerals, has developed global estimates of gas flaring based on observations of two satellites launched in 2012 and 2017.
     
    Advanced sensors on the two satellites monitor heat emitted from burning gas as infrared emissions in oil and gas production facilities around the world.
     
    “The awareness of gas flaring as a serious climate and resource management issue has become greater than ever,” said Zubin Bamji, Program Manager at the Global Partnership for Gas Flaring Reduction Trust. About 80 governments and oil companies have pledged to completely stop automatic gas flaring within the next decade, and others are also joining our global partnership, which is a very positive development. Projects to reduce gas flaring require large investments and take several years to bear fruit. Ahead of the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, we renew our call to the governments of oil-producing countries and oil companies to place gas flaring at the forefront of their climate-related plans. In order for us to save the world from millions of tons of emissions annually, this 160-year industrial practice must end now.
