Gas flaring (GasF) is an important aspect of the combustion mechanisms in the burning of related, undesirable, or surplus fluids (gases in particular) that are released during the ordinary or unexpected overpressuring process in several industrial activities, specifically in the petroleum resource (PTR) industries. It is also one of the major sources of greenhouse gas emissions which cause climate change (CMC). In addition to the generation of noise and heat, it makes substantial adjacent areas uninhabitable and, hence, causes detrimental consequences to the entire ecosystem as well as waste energy and results in economic losses. Reducing GasF is a critical issue due to its ensuing complications; consequently, there is a tenacious need to measure GasF via the study of its composition, distribution, and capacity, as well as the utilization of appropriate GasF recovery/removal procedures. The present review study will, thus, attempt to assess the impacts of GasF on the environment vis-à-vis the possible nexus between GasF/CMC using the perspective of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria which is rich in PTR, with relevant information drawn from existing publications. The roles of government, policymakers, and relevant stakeholders as well as suggestions and recommendations that will assist in the extenuation approaches and technologies of the influence of GasF on the environment are also discussed.

Geofluids

GEOFLUIDS 是一份经过同行评审的开放获取期刊，为与流体在地壳的矿物学、化学和结构演化中的作用相关的原创研究和评论提供了一个论坛。其明确目标是在开展地流体研究的各个子学科范围内传播思想。为此，鼓励作者强调其研究的跨学科相关性和国际影响。还鼓励作者尽可能让其他子学科的读者能够访问他们的工作。GEOFLUIDS 强调整个地壳中地下流体的化学、微生物和物理方面。 GEOFLUIDS 涵盖地下水、陆地或海底地热流体、盆地盐水、石油、变质水或岩浆流体的研究。

GEOFLUIDS is a peer-reviewed open-access journal that provides a forum for original research and reviews related to the role of fluids in the mineralogy, chemistry, and structural evolution of the Earth's crust. Its explicit aim is to disseminate ideas across various sub-disciplines involved in geofluid research. Authors are encouraged to highlight the interdisciplinary relevance and international impact of their work, and to present their findings in a manner accessible to readers from other sub-disciplines. GEOFLUIDS emphasizes the chemical, microbial, and physical aspects of subsurface fluids throughout the crust, covering studies on groundwater, terrestrial or submarine geothermal fluids, basin brines, petroleum, metamorphic waters, and magmatic fluids.
