In this exclusive interview, Rystad Energy Head of Shale Research Artem Abramov sheds light on flaring trends and what’s driving declines in the Permian Basin and Bakken.

Gas flaring hit a record low in the U.S. last fall—a trend that Artem Abramov, head of shale research for Rystad Energy, expects will continue.

“Based on what we hear from some E&P companies when we talk to them, I have a high degree of confidence that gas flaring will continue to decline in the next two to three years,” Abramov told Hart Energy in an exclusive interview.
