How much gas is being flared in the Eagle Ford?
Not as much as you might think. Far less than the Bakken. Texas has more limits to what can be flared and for how long.
The state’s flaring regulations — know as Rule 32 — allow operators to burn off excess natural gas while drilling wells and continue to do so up to 10 days after drilling is completed. In other cases, operators can apply for permits that allow up to 180 days of flaring.
