Midcontinent Case Study: Capturing Tank Vapor Gas and Putting Out Flares

A leading E&P operator in the Mid-Continent region was flaring more than expected at one of its production pads, resulting in lost gas sales revenue and complaints from nearby residents.  As more wells were added to the multi-well pad, oil production from the Woodford Shale increased and resulted in greater flaring activity.  The operator sought a solution to minimize flaring so it could continue development without adversely affecting the community or impairing economic returns.
