A coalition of oil and gas trade groups says it aims to end routine flaring by 2030 as the Texas Railroad Commission indicates it will crack down on the practice.
The Texas Methane and Flaring Coalition on Wednesday said it will work to end the burning of excess natural gas from oil wells when there is a lack of gas gathering and processing systems to take it to market. The organization, which includes seven trade associations and more than 40 Texas operators, said it maintains the right to flare for safety reasons.
