RE: "If you drive across West Texas at night, you can see the refinery gas flares from 20 or 30 miles away. They are immense....I didn't say all of the wells were capped already. I said ...some companies were starting to save and use the gas because the higher prices started to make that economical." ------------------ Hi Hmaly, Oil/gas companies are no longer burning gas because it is no longer economical for them to waste it??? Regards, Amy J

"A company in europe patented a method to liquefy and transport the gas" Either way you do this it is going to be problematic because of the heat generated. And putting a big heat generator on permafrost might be considered a bad idea. Now it might be possible to pipe it to a floating facility where the SO2 scrubbing/LNG production/catalytic conversion to longer chain HCs occurs. But SO2 is corrosive through several mechanisms so the distance it is piped had better be short. Or you put up with periodic leaks.
