摘要：
Nigeria is the second largest gas flaring nation in the world. Flaring of associated gas during oil production has a significant impact on the environment, health and finances of the nation. This paper aims to give readers an overview of the issues around gas flaring in Nigeria. It highlights the associated environmental and health as well as the legal and socio-economic issues and reviews the legal and regulatory framework under which gas is flared and presents data on the quantity costs of flaring, as well as making policy recommendations for the elimination of gas flaring in Nigeria.
