Royal Dutch Shell PLC has taken final investment decisions on two further projects in Nigeria to reduce associated gas flaring in the Niger Delta. The Forcados Yokri integrated project and the Southern Swamp associated gas gathering project will be in addition to the $2 billion flare reduction program that the Shell Petroleum Development Co. of Nigeria Ltd. joint venture has installed since 2000.

The two new projects are expected to produce 100,000 b/d of oil equivalent and 85,000 boe/d, respectively, at peak production and reduce flaring intensity per barrel of oil produced. SPDC has a 30% interest in both projects, the cost of which totals $4 billion.
