Hi, To prevent gas flaring and make the gas useful, it can be used in an engine of turbine at the well, then used to generate electricity. The electricity can then to transported over considerable distances by a single overhead wire at 100 kV or more, with the grounded oil pipeline contributing as the ground return.
Reasons why this is not viable? Humans err because meaning is hard. Machines err because meaning is missing. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk
