Last time I asked him, he said he "Build Storage Platform" for offshore oil and gas. Suddenly he is working on "Oil and Gas" industry.You work in oil n gas? and you come up with this pearl of wisdom? Oil wells flare natural gas because they don’t have the infrastructure to store and transport the gas produced from the well for it to be commercially viable. Natural gas is always contaminated with H2S the concentration depends on the region where the oil/gas is produced. Bottom line, the gas flared at the well site is typically 70 to 90% Methane mixed with butane, propane and small amounts of H2S contaminant >4ppm in sour gas. @Viet is right, billions of dollars of natural gas has been ‘flared’ around the world because natural gas is not the desired output from the well - the operator wants oil NOT gas. Flaring ‘poison’ gas mainly H2S is just a bonus the main objective is to get rid of the natural gas. Flaring gas is wasteful, the gas produced can easily be processed to remove H2S and piped to local communities Instead of burning it and emitting CO2 and SO2. The eco-friendly option is a zero flaring solution where the gases produced by the well is injected back into the reservoir. Think twice before you go around calling people ‘numb numb’, you might end up with egg on your face.
That dude didn't even know why Brent Crude were $130 4 months ago and $80 now. His claim of "Working in Oil and Gas industry" is amount to the same as a gas station attendant saying he work in oil and gas industry, only different is gas station attendant really do work with oil and gas........by pumping them to client car......
