Flaring Tech Co. with Ops in M-U Expands Manuf. Facility in Okla.

Once upon a time when drillers sunk an oil or gas well and it began to flow, the initial rush of natural gas coming from the hole would either be vented or flared. Venting is just releasing methane molecules into the atmosphere, a practice that gives environuts the creepy crawlies. Flaring is not much better in their book--the practice of burning methane coming from the hole (converting it to carbon dioxide). But hey, we don't want to vent or flare for a different reason--because those molecules are worth money! Better to capture and sell them. Enter technologies that do just that. One such company that manufactures tech to capture and sell fugitive methane at drilling sites is Flogistix (think of the word flow mashed with the word logistics...Flogistix). The company has field offices in many locations, including an office in Washington, PA.
