Gas flaring, seen from space.
Satellite heat matched to the nearest oil and gas site, several passes a day.
–detections, last 48 hours
–offshore
–onshore, within 10 km of a site
–sites with heat within 5 km
Detection strength
Fire radiative power, in megawatts.
NASA FIRMS, VIIRS 375 m
Offshore and onshore
Onshore counts only within 10 km of a site.
NASA FIRMS, matched by Oilscope
Satellite heat points to where gas burns. It is not a measured volume, and some of it is bush fire.
Monthly flaring report
The national picture each month: how much flaring the satellites saw, where, and around whose sites.
–detections a day
–on the month before
–sites with heat nearby
–of detections offshore
Where the heat was
Detections in the month, offshore and by state.
