She noticed conditions worsened when there were high volumes of natural
gas flares associated with oil and gas processing.

He points out that: «Total has set ambitious goals for reducing its greenhouse
gas emissions, notably by ending continuous
flaring and using the
associated gas locally.
In the new paper, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, Höglund - Isaksson estimated global methane emissions from oil and
gas systems in over 100 countries over a 32 - year period, using a variety of country - specific data ranging from reported volumes of
associated gas to satellite imagery that can show
flaring, as well as atmospheric measurements of ethane, a
gas which is released along with methane and easier to link more directly to oil and
gas activities.
The Maverick Oasis system allows producers to monetize biogas and natural
gas (including
associated or
flare gas, and stranded
gas reserves), as an alternative to producing electricity or venting greenhouse
gases... Read more →
Flaring of natural
gas — more commonplace in the Arctic where there is less available infrastructure to capture and transport natural
gas associated with oil drilling — can be a major source.
40 years ago I worked briefly in the North Sea and the two rigs I was on continuously
flared associated condensate
gas.
EPA attributed this improvement to reductions in emissions from
associated gas venting and
flaring.
In the case of natural
gas flaring, the production of oil is often accompanied by «
associated gas», and if there is no infrastructure for the «secondary» energy resource, and no plan to make use of the «secondary» resource, then it effectively has no economic existence but can have an environmental existence.
The
flared natural
gas is typically
associated with oil production, and thus, is somewhat of a byproduct in that location.
