Abstract	:	Nigeria has unsuccessfully grappled with gas flaring for many years. On the other hand, Alberta conserves 94.7 percent of its produced natural gas. Recognizing the multi-effects of gas flaring, the World Bank in its work on global gas flaring reduction, endorsed Alberta's gas flaring regulatory regime as a best practice model. This thesis examines the viability of transferring the Alberta regulatory framework for gas flaring reduction to Nigeria. It concludes that given the peculiarities of each jurisdiction, one cannot take it for granted that legal rules and institutions are easily transferable. Rather, it is feasible to contemplate a transfer of ideas. This thesis outlines the transferable concepts and ideas in Alberta's gas flaring reduction regime that could be adopted in Nigeria. It makes recommendations for developing an effective gas flaring reduction regulatory regime, which will be suitable for Nigeria.
