SUGAR LAND--March 1, 2018--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--A few years ago, after North Dakota enacted rules to limit natural gas flaring, some in the industry worried that the move would cut into crude oil Production, as most of the flared gas was associated gas that was produced with oil. At that time, North Dakota producers were flaring up to 30% of the gas they produced, as much as $100 million each month, mainly due to low gas prices and inadequate processing and outbound pipeline capacity.
