Production Meter 
A device used by the Producer to meter and register the 
quantities of Associated Gas produced and other gas volumes as 
specified and regulated in the Guidelines for Flare Gas 
Measurement, Data Management & Reporting Obligation 2018 
Programme  
The Nigerian Gas Flare Commercialisation Programme or any 
other programme to take Flare Gas at any Flare Site on behalf of 
the Federal Government of Nigeria through a competitive bid 
process and/or through authorisation of Producers’ Approved 
Flare Out Projects.  
Project 
A technically and commercially viable and sustainable Flare Gas 
utilisation project developed by the Flare Gas Buyer either as a

Production quantity that, due to pressure and temperature 
variations prior to any metering downstream of the Crude Oil 
Separators, will transform from gas to liquid phase 
Take or Pay Quantity
