Gas flaring is the burning off of the natural At 945 million m3, Canada was the eighth lowest flarer in 2022 gas that is generated in the process of oil extraction and (23rd spot out of the top 30 countries). [...] - 1 - International comparisons of gas flaring among top oil producers Table 1 Gas Flaring Volumes from 2012 to 2022 (in million m3 flared/year) in the 30 Countries with the Highest Volume of Flaring as of 2022 Flaring Rank based on million Country 2012 2022 2012 to 2022 m3 gas flar. [...] Comparing flaring to increased production Canada compares very favourably with the United States, which increased crude oil production by 82% and The decreases in flaring in Canada between 2012 and 2022 decreased flaring by 16%. [...] shown in Table 1 and Figure 1 understate the magnitude of the decline in flaring in the country.
