From my limited understanding it's not profitable enough to capture and transport the burn off.

Neither are particularly cheap, and natural gas prices are, for the moment, near all-time lows. (Storage, of course, is wildly implausible. Leaving the gas for extraction later at more profitable prices probably wouldn't be worth the time-value-of-money adjusted profits you could make by immediate extraction.)
