Thac, just wondering, unless the well is also producing sellable quantities of liquids, why not just valve it in until the NG is marketable? If I held the Royalties, I’d be giving Producer a dirty look unless I was getting a check for what went past the wellhead.

I would have thought the only reasonable reason for flaring is during initial well cleanout and flow capacity metering.

That is the point. These are not drilled for gas wells. These are oil wells that produces some gas.
