April 7 (Bloomberg) — Russell Rankin, a regional manager for Statoil ASA, and Craig Dvirnak and Theodora Bird Bear, residents of western North Dakota, talk with Bloomberg’s Jennifer Oldham about the practice by energy companies of flaring natural gas from oil wells. Twice as much gas is wasted through flaring than in 2012 amid a rush to exploit the state’s Bakken shale formation. (Source: Bloomberg)
