? 2022 Elsevier LtdFrom 2009 to 2019, Brazil experienced a reduction in its flaring volumes from 16% of the natural gas production to 4%. That was the result of the policy of reducing flaring volumes that started in 2000 and was recently improved. That places Brazil in the 24th position on natural gas volume flaring, with a flaring percent of around 4%. That flaring is compatible with countries with good practices in the oil and gas sector, like the United Kingdom. To identify and quantify the main reasons for flaring natural gas in oil & gas production units, both risk map analysis and future prediction on flaring were employed. The results can lead to the achievement of mid-term reduction with focused regulation. Both tools suggest that regulation improvements must be directed to the flaring in fields with high production of natural gas (especially newer and future ones) and the commissioning of production units. With improvement in regulation, the increase of 100% in natural gas production will possibly result in a decrease in natural gas flaring to around 2% in 2030. Some proposed actions can lead to even lower flaring percentages.
