It is probably not cost efficient to separate, compress and transport the natural gas.

Would it be profitable to use the gas to create compressed hydrogen that could be transported to Omaha and used as agricultural power? I think that proximity to market is the issue here.

If diesel could be replaced with hydrogen... Many agricultural products are truck transported and I cannot see why hydrogen fuel could not be distributed by truck on the route to Chicago from there -- just swap out the trailers in a yard in Chicago to diesel rigs for further distribution.

The advantage is the test run of developing hydrogen fuelled distribution and transport. Gas is burned off wells in California and Texas too. So this idea could create regional production in oil producing areas and open new opportunity for natural gas exploration in areas not served by pipelines to markets.

Don't hold your breath until the collapse of the "US Empire" you will end up blue in the face
