2ND ANNUAL

GAS FLARING MANAGEMENT SUMMIT 2015

12 - 13 MAY 2015 LE ROYAL MERIDIEN, ABU DHABI, UAE

INNOVATIONS IN FLARE GAS MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGIES

SUPPORTED BY

The 2nd Annual Gas Flaring Management Summit is a platform for both producers and policy makers to learn about the management of associated gasses. Natural gas is the most important contributer to the sustainability sector. It will be a fuel to power nations. However the key issue to focus on is how much green house gasses are emitted during natural gas development, production, transportation and storage. Gas Flaring is a Key issue to be focused on by the producers in order to create a more sustainable industry. Creating a sustainable energy infrastructure is one of the objectives of the UAE 2021 vision.

The UAE has understood that in order to grow its economy and social development, it needs to further develop its infrastructure to improve the quality of air, reserve its resources and increase its contribution for cleaner energy. The oil and gas sector has been a contributer to the success of the UAE. Decades ago our founding leaders understood the importance of energy sector with the well being of the nation.

The success of UAE in applying a responsible gas flaring policy is the resource of 3 key elements

1) The reduction of gas flaring is the result of a good leadership that UAE has committed itself to develop responsible gas flaring policies. In the early 1970‘s a visit to an oil production feasility by the late Shaikh Zayed Al Nahyan noticed the flaring of the associated gasses into the atmosphere and questioned how can this be stooped. This has been the driving factor of the UAE in its commitment and innovator in this sector.

2) The Use of highly sophisticated and modern tools in the oil and gas sector. The UAE has been in the forefront in the creation of the talent in human resources required to push the boundaries in the reduction of gas flaring under the high standards of safety. It has highly invested in its technology and procedure in detail to detail, project after project.

3) We have the partnership of industry leading companies in the creation of pioneer projects. The benefit of addicting gas flaring cuts has been multiplying. Less emissions are the most important contributer to achieving a more sustainable sector.

Moreover flare gas reduction technology in both reduction and re-utilisation of associated gasses are both of value to the oil and gas sector and the UAE as a whole.
