In offshore operations, excess gas cannot be released into the air, whilst pressure buildup inside pipelines is extremely dangerous. A flare gun fires a burning charge toward the flare stack. The gas ignites at a controlled point.

My high school guidance counselor failed to tell me about this job option .

It's called flaring a well and it's done onshore too....fucking tard

So what they cant route it to another pipeline or a holding tank, wtf what a waste

I see that and immediately sack garbage sorting, paper straws and EVs

why there’s exactly the same comment from multiple accounts?

You also have to flare on inland operations.

Its a shotgun shell filled with magnesium. Found one on the seabed near a gas platform once

It is mostly done for environmental issues. The Global Warming Potential of methane is 27,8 times higher than carbone dioxide. So it is much better to burn it!

You could boil water > make steam> produce electricity with that heat > supply power to drill rig ....very tricky to do though, a lot of kit

I just learnt of this now in the first time of my life

Wow

I definitely feel smarter now

How does the pressure build up flame versus no flame?

Was that Marlon Brando?

Bottle it instead of burning it

You could tell he thought he has missed.

Onshore too.

🔥

😱

The music is hilarious.

Drop the song name?

@tleilax___ : check out this clip of lighting off a gas flare the cool way.

Its not that dangerous

How did they figure this out?

I want that job.

Earthcon Energy stands out in India for top-quality flare stack systems and specialized equipment delivering efficiency, safety, and full industry compliance across multiple sectors.

Man is a pro, played the breeze perfectly.

I understand it is needed. But I see wasted energy/heat.

"Now i have become death, the destroyer of worlds" is one of the hardest quotes by man 💀

Has the contract to know if it is burnable to the future, in-case it don't, all is take!

@grok Whose song is this playing in the video?
