The venting looks like a dramatic waste of resources, but as usual, there is more to the story. It takes a lot of gas to pay for the pipelines and compressors to deliver it to market.

We often test wells for some extended period before we can make a decision on whether we can install facilities to capture all of the gas. The state regulators recognize this, and they have limits on how much we can test or flare. Here's an analogy for this group.
