Arstegall, please explain for me:

Why is it more economical to flare gas than use it? It's still energy. It would seem some of the gas energy could drive a pump to compress the rest of the gas to either bottle it or compress it into a pipeline, even if at a small flow rate through a tiny orifice, or to drive the oil pump.

When you say "I flow a well with 1100 psi" what is your position? Does that mean you are a manager responsible for determining how to choke or otherwise manage such a well? If so, how large is the company for which you work? Does it mean you own a well like that and someone else manages it?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I enjoy your postings.
