But, evidently, not enough gas in volume to warrant the necessary infrastructure -- gathering system, gas plants and pipeline -- to exploit it.
I've read, though, that a "cottage industry" is forming around means of somehow employing this gas at the wellhead -- to run generators, pumps, etc.

Why are you sending this to me? Sheez, another person who doesn’t even know what you are talking about .
This is really a bore for me....but here goes:
I’m well read on this subject. In a nutshell there is a gas glut in the U.S. . U.S. Law only allows for gas exports overseas by a few U.S. companies, currently this is all touch and go. Gas exports are restricted. Consequently, there is currently not a push to build infrastructure to capture and transmit this gas as it will depress prices even further. But eventually this will all sort itself out as US industries, electricty production and trasportation(buses,formerly diesel trucks) get on to natural gas in a big way, in addition to gas exports overseas ramping up over time.
Yuck!

With multi-well pads, that backlog will diminish (fewer feeder lines needed), and less gas will be flared.
The amount flared is down to 29% of production versus the high of 36%, and progress is being made toward even lower numbers.
