Real-World Assessment Shows Outsized Benefits of Shrouds on Reducing Emissions from Low-Flow Utility Oil and Gas Flares in North American Oil and Gas Basin

Flares in the oil and gas industry are assumed to achieve methane destruction efficiency of 98%; however, recent studies reveal significantly lower efficiencies and higher-than-expected methane emissions from some flares. This study combines real-world operating parameters and wind data on actual fl...
