Yahoo News: Total wraps up Ofon field flare out offshore Nigeria

Total has completed the flare out of the Ofon field on Oil Mining Lease (OML) 102 offshore Nigeria. The associated gas of the Ofon field is now being compressed, evacuated to shore and monetised via Nigeria LNG.

“The flare-out of the Ofon field illustrates our commitment to developing oil and gas resources around our existing hubs in Nigeria,” said Guy Maurice, senior vice president Africa at Total Exploration & Production. “This important milestone of the Phase 2 of the Ofon project was achieved in a context of high levels of local content.

“The flare-out on Ofon is also significant for Total’s environmental targets, representing a 10 per cent reduction in the group’s E&P flaring. This achievement is a clear demonstration of Total’s commitment to the Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership promoted by the World Bank.”
