Report summary
Gas flaring in the Bakken has risen in prominence from a niche issue to one that will have regional gas and Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) market implications. Currently 350 mmcfd of natural gas is flared in North Dakota, accounting for 30% of regional production volumes. This rapid growth in gas supply will have regional gas market implications, particularly for Midwestern and Eastern Canadian gas markets coping with growing volumes from the Marcellus and Utica.
