Reduction of Flaring in the KRI
With our joint venture partner and operator of the Tawke PSC, DNO, Genel continues to be part of the first Associated Gas Injection (AGI) project in the KRI. Since 2020, Phase 1 of the project has successfully captured over 1.2 million tonnes of CO2e from the Peshkabir field and subsequent transport of the captured gas, via pipeline, for reinjection at the Tawke field to enhance oil recovery, thereby reducing flaring rates across the Tawke PSC.
In 2023, an important milestone was reached on this project, with completion of Phase 2 of the AGI. This has allowed for capture and reinjection of the produced gas at the Tawke field, thereby reducing flaring further.
