Mobile Flares for Well Testing
Trailer and skid-mounted flares that move between wells for testing, clean-up and workover flaring.

Temporary flaring that travels with the crew
CRA's portable and mobile flares give well testing and workover crews a supervised flame at sites with no permanent flare, and move on to the next well when the job is done.

Why use a mobile flare for well testing?
During a well test the gas from the well is measured and then has to be disposed of safely. A permanent flare makes little sense for a test that lasts a few days. A mobile flare brings the flare to the well on a trailer or skid, connects to the test separator and burns the gas under supervision.
How it works
The flare connects downstream of the test separator through a flexible hose or quick-connect fitting.
The flare arrives at the well on its trailer or skid.
A flexible hose or quick-connect fitting links the flare to the test separator.
The flare's own ignition system lights and proves the pilots.
Test gas is burned at the flare while the well is measured.
When the test ends, the flare is disconnected and moved to the next site.
Key Benefits
Trailer or skid mounting lets the flare travel from well to well.
Flexible hoses and quick-connect fittings shorten set-up at each site.
Pilots, ignition and controls travel with the flare.
The flare is designed to destroy more than 98% of the hydrocarbons in the test gas.
The flare gives a controlled, supervised flame at sites with no permanent flare.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a mobile flare set up at the well?
The flare arrives on its trailer or skid and connects to the test separator through a flexible hose or quick-connect fitting, which keeps set-up short.
Can one flare serve several wells?
Yes. Mobile flares are built to travel, so one unit can serve several wells in turn.
Does the flare come with its own ignition?
Yes. Each mobile flare carries its own pilots, ignition and controls.
What data does CRA need to select a flare?
CRA needs the expected gas flow and composition, the separator pressure, and the site conditions.
Is the flare bought outright?
Yes. CRA supplies mobile flares for outright purchase, so the operator keeps the unit for its own test programme.
