As other have said gas is really cheap but it is coming up ($3 mmbtu now). The reason to capture flare gas, is for Money or environmental regulations. Land based sites are feeling the full weight of the newest Environmental regulations coming out now. This will bleed over to off shore.
The issue is methane and the current administrations war on emissions that are causing the global warming..bs.. which is really a battle against the Oil and Gas industry trying to regulate them out of business. By 2018 the mandate is that all flaring must be stopped and zero emissions, on land based operations.
