Listen "Flare Basics"
Episode Synopsis
In this premiere episode of Permian Pyros, hosts Alex and Jamie sit down with veteran operations manager who’s spent over 20 years taming flares. Grady walks us through why purging is your first and most critical line of defense, how to choose and inject purge gas, the pit-stop checklist you simply can’t skip before lighting pilots, and the exact “playbook” for an unassisted flare start-up and shutdown. We stress the real danger behind every step (fuel + ignition + oxygen = potential disaster!), but we’ll keep you entertained with field-tested stories, insider tips, and just enough Texas swagger to make safety unforgettable. Tune in, take notes, and learn how to keep your flames controlled—and your crew protected.
