I always see burning flame on a pole on an Oil Platform. Can’t they store and then sell it?

It’s some problematic byproduct of the mining process that isn’t present in enough volume to be worth shipping to land (pipelines and ship trips are expensive), but would be even worse to just release. IIRC it’s usually pockets of methane or natural gas in the case of oil drilling. They are way worse greenhouse cases than the CO2 they burn into, so they light them on fire before releasing.
