	Gas flare Summary
		A gas flare or flare stack is an elevated vertical stack or chimney found on oil wells or oil rigs, and in refineries, chemical plants and landfills used for burning off unusable waste gas or flammable gas and liquids released by pressure relief valves during unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment.
		Flaring and venting of natural gas in oil wells is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions.
		The World Bank estimates that 100 billion cubic meters of natural gas are flared or vented annually, an amount equivalent to the combined annual gas consumption of Germany and France.

		The World Bank estimates that 100 billion cubic meters of natural gas are flared or vented annually, an amount equivalent to the combined annual gas consumption of Germany and France, twice the annual gas consumption of Africa, three quarters of Russian gas exports, or enough to supply the entire world with gas for 20 days.

	Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - Nigerian gas flare reduction begins to yield positive dividends
		A further decomposition of the gas utility and gas flare trend on monthly basis indicated that of the estimated 4.708 bn (166.256 bn cf) cm produced in January, 2.240 bn metres or 48 % was utilised while 52 % was flared.
		For instance, apart from the policy measures, the hiking of the penalties on gas flaring from the old 10 kobo/1,000 cf to N 10 for the same volume a few years ago was intended to deter gas flaring and promote its improved utilisation in the country.
		The current declining gas flare trend may not be unconnected with the improved awareness being created on the utility of gas as a cheaper, and more environmental-friendly source of energy at all levels of domestic economic activities.

		The kinetic energy per molecule in a gas is the second greatest of the states of matter (after plasma).
		A gas that is ionized (or even partially ionized) becomes a plasma, the fourth state of matter because its properties are quite different to solids, liquids and gases.
		The word "gas" was probably coined by a Flemish chemist as a re-spelling of his pronunciation of the Greek word chaos.

	Utility flares and steam assisted flares by Zeeco
		Forced air from the blowers and gas from the flare header are routed separately from the base of the flare stack to the top of the flare.
		Flame lick on the exterior of the flare and burnback inside the flare tip, are virtually eliminated by the forced air from the blowers, which create a strong upward velocity, making the impact from the wind minimal in shaping or moving the flame.
		The gas is broken into multiple exit points and each point inspirates large quantities of air to reduce the flame temperature and to ensure quicker mixing of the hydrocarbons with air for combustion.

	Gas Flares,. Oil Companies, and Politics In Nigeria By Chijoke Evoh
		Hence, it is not necessarily an ecological or social crime to flare gas.
		Rather, what is questionable is the claim of the oil companies that technologies needed to mitigate gas flaring is presently beyond their reach, hence their demand for sufficient time to acquire it.
		Above all, a monitoring system to curb gas flaring which is perceived to be corrupt or penalties that are sufficiently low to make it profitable to engage in continuous flare are two dangers that will continue to undermine any effort to attain terminal flare in Nigeria.

	Oilfield Glossary: Term 'flare' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		Flaring is a means of disposal used when there is no way to transport the gas to market and the operator cannot use the gas for a another purpose.
		Flaring generally is not allowed because of the high value of gas and environmental concerns.
		A flare is usually situated near a producing well or at a gas plant or refinery.

	dti: Oil and Gas Directorate - Regulation: Guidance notes
		Historically gas flared was represented in terms of a disposal efficiency, developed by performing a gas balance.
		A number of fields have flares which are relatively small and in these circumstances the DTI considers it unnecessary for the operator to include the full details as requested in the pro-forma.
		The estimated inerts and molecular weight of the inerts contained in the flare gas is to allow DTI to evaluate `source gas' CO2 as distinct from `formed on combustion' CO2.

		CLEAN SERVICE FLARE is a gas flare that is designed and configured by installation to combust only natural gas, hydrogen gas and/or liquefied petroleum gas, or any other gas(es) with a fixed composition and vented from specific equipment which has been determined to be equivalent and approved in writing by the Executive Officer.
		GAS FLARE is a combustion device used to dispose of combustible gases and a device which is not subject to RECLAIM at a RECLAIM facility.
		If sampling of vent gas is exempt due to a catastrophic event as specified in paragraph (h)(1) of this rule or not required due to flare events shorter than 30 minutes, the estimated higher (gross) heating value and total sulfur content shall be considered as a representative sample.

		The nozzel on gas flares requires a sealing system capable of withstanding temperatues to 750F (400C) and pressures to 30,000 psi (200 MPa).
		Gas flare line, which recover hydrocarbon gas in the flare system and route the gas back to the main process, remain closed during recovery of the flare gas by means of a valve installed downstream of the flare knock-out drum.
		An effective seal is critical to avoid failure of the nozzle that opens as gas is diverted to the flare.

		The goal of the Gas STAR Program is to encourage the natural gas industry to reduce methane emissions through market-based activities that are both profitable for industry partners and beneficial to the environment.
		The study found that, at a gas value of $2.00/mcf, Dynegy could cost-effectively reduce 52.7 percent of the total methane emissions from fugitive equipment leaks at the Chico plant, and 89.6 percent of the methane emissions from leaks at Sand Hills.
		These include the common natural gas components pentane, butane, propane, ethane, and methane, the heavier of which are extracted from the gas stream as valuable natural gas liquids.

		For major sources of air pollution, the regulations specify engineering standards for a "well-designed and well-operated" gas control system, a system that will achieve "the maximum degree of reduction in emissions of HAP that is achievable," at least as much reduction in pollutants as the best-performing 12 percent of landfill gas control systems.
		The success of a landfill in destroying air toxics is determined by testing for methane concentrations within 10 centimeters of the surface of the landfill, every 30 meters around the perimeter of the landfill and along a zig-zag transverse across the surface of the landfill and around the perimeter.
		Other requirements under the landfill gas rule include maintaining a negative pressure (vacuum) within a certain distance from all gas wells and at all wellheads, preventing infiltration of outside air into any gas lines, and maintaining a constant flame at all flares or combustion devices.
