The Muskrat Fall Inquiry documents ( P 00060 ) outlines a lot of the background case for / against offshore gas production. Basically for the size of our market onshore, it wouldn't be cost effective to use gas, we have very little gas usage and no in-ground infrastructure for distribution.

Not sure what all the platforms do, but I think the fixed platforms ( maybe all of them ) have mini production systems that 'produce' gas directly from the field, they then use that gas to power the platform electric generators ( megawatt sized ). Surplus gas from that production is either re-injected to the field to keep pressure up, or is stored in parts of the field for later extraction.

There is some gas flared off, but I don't know what percentage that is. Can't find any stats on that.
