The Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (MoPMR) has announced that the emissions and flare gas reduction project, implemented by Badr El Din Petroleum Company (Bapetco) in the Obaiyed and Badr-3 fields of the Western Desert, has been selected for presentation and discussion at COP 29, scheduled to take place in Azerbaijan from November 13 to 23.

The project is one of the successful national  projects in this field and it won the National Initiative Award for Smart Green Projects  in September 2024.

The project aims to reduce carbon emissions resulting from flare gases in gas processing plants at Badr El Din Company’s fields (El Obaiyed and Badr-3), where approximately 140,000 tons of carbon equivalent were successfully reduced annually, and it also led to an increase in the production of processing plants by 3.4 million cubic feet of gas per day, (mmcf/d)  or approximately 1.241 billion cubic feet (bcf) annually.

This project reflect the company’s commitment, dedication and continuous efforts of its employees in applying the best environmental practices and adopting environmentally friendly solutions to mitigate the impacts of climate change and reduce carbon emissions.
