If various regulatory and economic hurdles can be overcome, storage of produced natural gas through reinjection in the oil patch may prove to be a breakthrough for curbing flaring in North Dakota’s Bakken Shale, according to a state-sponsored report released Wednesday.

The University of North Dakota’s (UND) energy research unit said it has a small part of a larger, $3.5 million research project involving industry, university and federal government researchers who are seeking to develop a process for extracting more value out of gas streams, including natural gas.
