Oil and gas producers rely on flaring to limit the venting of natural gas from their facilities. Methane—which can be a byproduct of oil production—is a powerful greenhouse gas. Multiple flares observed in operation in the Bakken Formation in the Williston Basin in North Dakota, 2021.

The oil and gas boom in the United States was made possible by the extensive credit afforded to drillers. As is the nature of the junk-bond market, lots of money flowed to companies with much riskier drilling prospects than, say, the oil majors. The situation will compound itself if oil prices stay low.
