Director of production control at the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) Gholamreza Bahman-Nia said all the gas flares in the gas field's refining facilities will stop operating by 2019.
A gas flare, alternatively known as a flare stack, is a gas combustion device used in industrial plants such as petroleum refineries, chemical plants, natural gas processing plants as well as at oil or gas production sites having oil wells, gas wells, offshore oil and gas rigs and landfills.
Given the value of natural gas, companies would rather captures it than to flare it unless under emergencies in order to prevent catastrophes, he said.
