The gas burning on the top of the oil rigs helps suck out the oil below it. I’ll bet it would cost more to try and capture it than burning it off the way they do. If its one thing oil companies don't like to do its throw away profits.

Bingo! It costs them more to capture it than its worth. Thus they burn it off.
