Gas flare

OverviewCrude oil production flaresOverall flare system in industrial plantsGround flaresBiogas flaresEnvironmental impactsFurther reading

When crude oil is extracted and produced from oil wells, raw natural gas associated with the oil is brought to the surface as well. Especially in areas of the world lacking pipelines and other gas transportation infrastructure, vast amounts of such associated gas are commonly flared as waste or unusable gas. The flaring of associated gas may occur at the top of a vertical flare stack, or i
