This is normally done to safely dispose of natural gas (typically methane) that cannot be processed for sale or use. Furthermore, Natural gas is 25 times more potent as a greenhouse gas in comparison to CO2.Continue Reading
Routine flaring, also known as production flaring, is the combustion of natural gas during the normal oil production operation. This is normally done for natural gas that cannot be processed for sale or use.Continue Reading
