Thanks for the info.
Flaring is generally pretty limited in duration, and for an oil well in the city they wouldn't be allowed to flare much. Sometimes there is some initial flaring right after the well is installed while they get it flowing properly and to test it (though flaring due to testing might not be allowed here - depending on how close it is to existing gas pipelines); other than that it would really just be limited to emergencies.
