The document discusses using gas recovered from oil wells to substitute for non-associated gas currently being flared and used for gas-lift operations at an offshore oilfield in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It proposes a new CDM methodology that would allow capturing and using the recovered gas rather than flaring it, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Key benefits noted are lowering costs by using the recovered gas instead of purchasing non-associated gas, and the potential to generate carbon credits under the CDM program.
