Atmos Energy crews and contractors will oversee controlled natural gas flarings at various times from Feb. 25 – March 3 on property located within the Atmos Energy facility in Snyder and southeast of Snyder in Scurry County south of U.S. Hwy. 84.
The company will perform maintenance on a section of natural gas pipeline in the area as part of normal, routine maintenance operations.
“Flaring” is a standard industry practice to safely burn natural gas that must be removed from a specific section of pipeline so that employees can work on the pipe, according to a press release recently released by Atmos.
People in the area will notice a large, controlled flame and moderate noise throughout the flaring process.
The Scurry County Sheriff’s Department, City of Snyder, Snyder Fire Department, Dyess Air Force Base and the Railroad of Commission of Texas have been notified.
