Higher oil prices do not automatically translate into faster Permian production growth when associated gas cannot move out of the basin fast enough. Takeaway limits continue to constrain both gas and crude response, with new capacity still pending later this year.
That is where Rextag’s new U.S. gas flaring dataset, now available in Energy DataLink, becomes useful. It helps teams see where flaring is concentrated across the basin and compare flare activity alongside surrounding energy infrastructure.
Why it matters
● The Permian remains physically constrained when gas takeaway lags associated production growth.
● Flaring can help surface where gas handling infrastructure is still lagging production.
● New takeaway capacity is coming, but the basin is still operating ahead of that relief.
● A current flaring view adds useful context for upstream, midstream, and investor teams assessing bottlenecks and timing risk.

A deeper look in DataLink
Inside Energy DataLink, users can compare flare activity by operator and region, monitor where gas appears under-gathered, and place flare activity in the context of surrounding energy infrastructure. The new U.S. gas flaring dataset is built for that kind of basin-level screening, especially where gathering, processing, or takeaway capacity may still be catching up.
