ABSTRACT
Comparative analysis of the
quantity of gas flared by the joint venture companies in Nigeria from 2003 -
2012 was carried out in this study. The study was motivated by the enormous
negative implications of gas flaring on the socio-economic and health status of
the people. It aimed at the determination of significance of the joint venture
companies and years on gas flaring. Data on quantity of gas flared, in cubic
metres, by the individual joint venture companies over the years were collected
from Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) through the website: www.nnpcgroup.com
and were analyzed using the fixed effect model of two-way Analysis of Variance
without interaction. The result showed that there is significant difference in
the quantity of gas flared by the joint venture companies and the quantities also
differ significantly among the years. Toe pairwise comparison test revealed
that Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), Mobil, Chevron and Nigerian
Agip Oil Company (NAOC) were the leading companies in gas flaring without any
significant difference among the quantity of gas they flared. They were
followed by Total E&P who flared gas more than TEXACO and PAN OCEAN without
any significant difference in the quantity of gas flared by the later two
companies. Comparison of quantity of gas flared according to years showed no
significant difference in the quantity of gas flared from 2003= 2006 and the
quantities flared in these years exceeded the quantities flared for the rest of
the years. Quantities of gas flared from 2007-2011 appeared not to be significantly
different. The least quantity of gas was flared in 2012
