Max 200 words. | Gas Energy LA (GELA) is a unique regional consulting firm with operation in many countries in Latin America with special focus on natural gas. We are the solely entity tracking volumes of flare in North Monagas on a regular basis in Venezuela. GELA has been working in Venezuela since 2012 providing natural gas analysis to onshore and offshore projects, monetization plans to gas operators. GELA gather database of the natural gas demand in the country: Power Generation, Petrochemical needs, residential, Oil injection needs. Today Venezuela suffers of a severe natural gas deficit. Pdvsa is compensating this gap with associated gas of North Monagas, this gas should be injected in those oil wells in order to keep pressure. As a consequence, crude production of light and medium crude is declining. Add to this, gas flare is more than 2 BCFD and this gas is impacting the environment with Co2 emission. The problem is not only impacting PDVSA economies but also environment in the area. Find a solution require time and resources. GELA wants to evaluate economics models in order to find monetization options to reduce the flare and maximize this associated gas.
