Flaring is an essential practice in oil and gas production, primarily for safety reasons.Although data indicate that, on a worldwide basis, gas flaring contributes only 1% o fanthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, for environmental and resource conservationreasons, flaring should always be minimized as much as practicable. In the frame â– work of Global Gas Flaring Reduction Public-Private Partnership (GGFR),Government of Indonesia (GOI) through Directorate General of Oil and Gas is preparinga draft policy for Green Oil and Gas Industry Initiative (GOGII). GOI encourage oil andgas activity in Indonesia to be environmental friendly Industries by implementing ZeroFlare, Zero Discharge, Clean Air and Go Renewable programs. Zero flare can be achievedby different kind of methods, such as re-injection of associated gas, gas utilization on-site,and collection and rnarket to downstream markets. Tiris paper tries to review and evaluate the possibility of implementing the zero flarepolicy for oil and gas exploration and production Industries in Indonesia, in the framework of contributing to GOI in preparing draft policy for GOGII.
