SaskEnergy will be conducting a controlled natural gas flaring on Thursday morning near the town of Midale.

The flaring is scheduled to take place at a block valve site within the R.M. of Cymri, approximately 15 kilometres northeast of Midale. According to a public safety announcement from the Crown corporation, the work will run from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 11th, though the timing is subject to change based on operating needs.

Residents and drivers in the area may see a 40-foot flame emitted from a temporary flare stack attached to SaskEnergy's infrastructure.

The flaring is a necessary step to perform maintenance on the natural gas line system. The process involves isolating a section of the line and removing the existing gas through a controlled burn. SaskEnerg
