DaddyT, it may be related to the production facilities and/or downstream pipeline and their ability to deal with the gas produced while the well is "cleaning up" after frac'ing.
Can you be specific on the wells being flared? A nice HS well would get a pretty nice sized flare lit up!! Not a lot of folks will flare except as a last resort. Flare permits, lost revenue, etc. But Les is probably right, frac fluid clean up will come with some gas that has to go somewhere.

If a well is close enough to existing facilities, they MAY have the option to produce to a tank with gas facilities to a pipeline, but that frac fluid tends to upset a conventional production facility.
Some pipeline operators are very picky about the quality of the gas you sell them. Even too much N2 could be a reason to flare for a while untill the gas cleans up.
I can not be specific, I was told by someone last week who said they lived in Red River Parish and had HS wells across the river from them and the flares were extremely high. The Haynesville wells in my sections have not been flared, only the vertical wells were flared, before the Haynesville wells. That is why I ask the question, I have not had experience with HS wells being flared and frankly did not think they flared them.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
