The burnoff is equivalent to 30% of the total U.S. natural gas production. Currently, there is no legislation that requires fracking companies to recapture the natural gas they produce through fracking, although its only slightly more expensive to recapture the natural gas. Most of the companies have obtained government permission for the flare-offs with annual renewals. The industry argues that until the wells are completed its too expensive to recapture the natural gas. On average, eight new wells are added to the area each day which over the next 20 years is expected to become ten times as large as it is today. The field already produces more oil than the entire state of Alaska.
