INTO STATE REPORTS
Where the gas hasno economic market.
Several states have already made the finding for us. Kansas lets an operator vent or flare on a sworn affidavit that the gas “is uneconomic to market due to pipeline or marketing expenses.” Ohio’s statute permits flaring where “there is no economic market at the well.” Indiana’s says flaring isn’t waste “if it is not economical to market the natural gas.” North Dakota goes furthest — to get a flaring exemption there, an operator must file documentation that on-site electrical generator equipment would be economically infeasible.
Enthusiast Power exists to change that answer by offering resource owners a $0 capital investment option to turn that lost opportunity into real revenue.
The midstream arithmetic that makes gas uneconomic to market.
| Gathering margin 20 Mcf/day well | ~$5,400/yr | Anadarko · East Daley Analytics 1Q22 G&P benchmarking |
| Four-inch gathering pipeline lateral | ~$98,000/mi | ICF for INGAA, 2018 · 2017 dollars |
| Traditional payback | ~18 yrs | Our illustration from the two inputs above — before tap, meter or compression costs are expensed |
The economics of connecting a marginal well stopped working a long time ago, on a declining asset. The precedent of solutions exists at scale: Diversified Energy, FuelCell Energy and TESIAC formed a 360 MW Appalachian gas-and-coal-mine-methane data center venture in March 2025. And that was on economic flows of gas. We can do the same in a distributed multi-unit resilient deployment.
Where our research matches our deployments.
| Documented to data-sheet depth | 7 states | TX · PA · OH · MO · KS · CO · OK |
| North Dakota | Strongest driver | 91% gas capture required · oil capped at 100–200 bopd for failure |
| New Mexico | 98% by 31 Dec 2026 | No economic exemption — flaring simply closed as an option |
