[ARCHIVED] Atmos Energy to Flare Natural Gas at Fort Hood

Atmos News Release

LORENA, Texas (Nov. 6, 2019) – Atmos Energy crews and contractors will oversee a controlled natural gas flaring on Wednesday, Nov. 6 beginning at approximately 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. near the City of Lorena.  The flaring site is south of Barnes Road and approximately one mile east of IH-35. The company will be performing maintenance on a natural gas pipeline in the area as part of normal, routine operations.

“Flaring” is a standard industry practice to safely burn natural gas that must be removed from a specific section of pipeline so employees can work on the pipe. People in the area will notice a large, controlled flame and moderate noise during this process. Atmos Energy employees will be on site to monitor the process as natural gas is vented into the atmosphere.

The flaring site is south of Barnes Road and approximately one mile east of IH-35. The company will be performing maintenance on a natural gas pipeline in the area as part of normal, routine operations.
