Dale:

Your comments are correct. The EUB's flaring permit will limit the amount of gas to be flared such that the provincial ambient air guidelines of 0.017 ppm SO2 will not be exceeded. They will likely structure the permit so that this limit is not even approached.

The original #1 discovery well flared gas with 29% H2S at a rate of 3.35 million cubic feet per day, with a total of 32.9 million cubic feet flared during the test program.(these numbers come from a Stampede oils news release of November 29, 1994) I do not have flaring gas flow numbers for the ESSO 2-21 test this past spring, but I seem to recall that the number of 3 or 4 million cubic feet per day appeared on the thread. The flare that appeared during that test was about 25 feet high when I was watching. A flare of that size or only half that size would be visible in some directions for 15 to 20 miles or more, at night from the 7-25 well.

Not to belabor the point, this well is different in that it is highly visible as it sits on top of a ridge, 300-400 feet above surrounding land. To see most of the other wells involved in this play you had to be within a mile or two of them. I don't expect a big flare, but even a small to medium one will be visible for a long way.

I guess what we all do now is cross our fingers and hope that we see any sort of flare shortly.
