AntalyaNigeria flared 203.9 billion cubic feet of gas in 2025.
Its upstream regulator now offers investors $2.2 billion of capture projects while flaring persists.
Regulator data show flaring fell 8.1% in early 2026, but the flared share hit 7.48% in August, the highest since October 2025.
An October investigation found weak enforcement of the anti-flaring law and gaps in methane measurement.
Operators must replace methane estimates with measurements by the first quarter of 2027.
