DescriptionLooking S at gas flare at dawn 002 - near Arnegard North Dakota - 2013-07-07.jpg
English: A natural gas flare at an oil well in McKenzie County west of Watford City, North Dakota.
Few oil pipelines exist in North Dakota. Most oil is trucked out daily from each well, causing a massive amount of semi truck traffic in the county. Little oil moves in the winter. Natural gas pipelines exist, but are at capacity. So natural gas is usually flared off year round.
There are attempts to build natural gas piplines throughout the county, to capture the gas. But even so, there is no compressing facility nearby which would allow the gas to be sweetened and liquified and moved nationwide. There is one currently under construction as of July 2013.
