Crude oil and natural gas producers in Texas have significantly increased flaring due to low natural gas prices and a supply glut.
Oil and gas producers in Texas have significantly increased in recent weeks the number of requests to the Railroad Commission of Texas RRC to allow flaring on some operations as low natural gas prices and a glut of supply present challenges to the drillers how to get rid of the unwanted gas. RRC, the oil and gas industry regulator of Texas , approved last week as many as 21 requests from producers to be exempt from rules banning or limiting flaring, Reuters reported on Tuesday. The U.S.
As WTI crude prices moved above $80 per barrel, producers are keen to continue pumping oil. But weak natural gas prices, especially in Texas, have created a dilemma for the companies, and many would choose more flaring – if permitted – to shutting down oil-producing wells that have associated gas output, analysts say. So far, producers in America, where part of the natural gas is associated gas from oil drilling, are not jumping the gun.
