The article says they're also using wells that would be shut-in.
They're basically buying up wells that are too low pressure to continue using for mainstream production, and then instead of closing them off they're extracting all of the remaining gas and burning it.
Seems like a terrible idea to give them a tax break for burning more natural gas that would otherwise be left in the ground.
I'd be okay if it was just the flare-off from refineries, but that's not all they're doing.

- aluminum96 5y agoThe linked references in the article say this is what they're doing.
- rattlesnakedave 5y agoNo. They are giving them a tax break for using gas that would have been flared or vented.
