SaskEnergy will be conducting controlled natural gas flaring Wednesday at its block valve site in the RM of Sherwood.
The Crown corporation said in a tweet the flare will run for a few hours during the day, which it said is subject to change based on operating requirements.
According to SaskEnergy, flaring is an industry standard practice when natural gas needs to be removed from a line and reduces the carbon footprint of vented natural gas by 85 per cent.
