库克河内能源公司因故意在2024年至2025年间焚烧51百万立方英尺的天然气以维持石油流动而被罚款313,616美元, 违反了阿拉斯加的反废物规则. Cook Inlet Energy was fined $313,616 for intentionally flaring 51 million cubic feet of gas from 2024–2025 to keep oil flowing, violating Alaska’s anti-waste rules.

一项州调查证实,2024年至2025年,Cook Inlet Energy故意从阿拉斯加北坡发射近5 100万立方英尺的天然气,主要是为了保持石油生产,而不是为了安全。 A state investigation confirmed Cook Inlet Energy intentionally flared nearly 51 million cubic feet of natural gas from Alaska’s North Slope from 2024 to 2025, primarily to maintain oil production rather than for safety. 阿拉斯加油气保护委员会发现该公司被监管者误导,拒绝紧急需要的要求,并称燃烧是出于经济便利。 The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission found the company misled regulators, rejecting claims of emergency necessity and stating the flaring was driven by economic convenience. 该机构维持了313 616美元的罚款,强调阿拉斯加对废物的严格规则遭到违反,因为气体可能使大约900个住宅一年加热。 The agency upheld a $313,616 fine, emphasizing that Alaska’s strict rules against waste were violated, as the gas could have heated about 900 homes for a year.
