ND official says flaring up in Bakken

According to Lynn Helms, director, North Dakota Department of Minerals, Bismarck, ND, there has been an increase in flaring from October to November. Helms said a large reason for this was a unique issue involving the sulfur treating equipment at the Tioga gas plant.  He said this caused a six day period where gas was turned off or flared.  This also rippled into the plant production which dropped to 71 percent from 85 percent and “flaring increased just a little bit.”

There is a new federal rule, through the Bureau of Indian Affairs, involving the extension of right of ways. Helms said they are currently looking into the new law.
