AbujaNigeria still flares 500 million cubic feet daily, regulator says.

The regulator says flaring fell from 90% of output to 7%, and renewed its 2030 deadline.

The flaring penalty is $2 per thousand standard cubic feet, set under the 2021 Petroleum Industry Act.

Satellite data shows flaring at TotalEnergies’ oil mining leases 58 and 130 barely fell after it declared routine flaring ended.

The regulator has yet to publish the comprehensive venting data its own rules require.
