SaskEnergy will be conducting a series of controlled natural gas flares approximately eight miles west of Mossbank from Tuesday, July 21 to Saturday, July 25.聽

The flares are necessary to perform maintenance work on the natural gas line system in the area.聽

During this process, natural gas will be released from the gas line in a controlled burn called a flare.

While the gas line will be isolated from the remainder of the system, flaring is required to remove the remaining gas from the line before work can begin.

Flaring is an industry standard procedure when natural gas needs to be released from a gas line and reduces the carbon footprint of the vented natural gas by 85 per cent.聽

Residents and drivers in the areas may see a flare being emitted from the flare stack temporarily attached to SaskEnergy鈥檚 infrastructure near Highway 718 west of Mossbank.聽

The area around the flare will be supervised to ensure public safety.

SaskEnergy has notified local emergency responders of the upcoming events.聽

There will be no disruptions to natural gas service for SaskEnergy customers during this process.
