Flaring is set to take place at Shell’s Mossmorran facility over the course of two days.
The company issued a notice to local residents that it may be noticeable at its Natural Gas Liquids Plant during daytime hours today (Thursday) and tomorrow.
It said in a statement: “We aim to minimise flaring, but at times, use of the flares is necessary for operational work.
"We recognise that the flare can be seen locally in daylight at night, and we aim to minimise any impact on the nearby community.”
The site near Cowdenbeath processes gas from the North Sea and exports products to customers worldwide.
It is separate from ExxonMobil’s Mossmorran Fife Ethylene Plant, which permanently stopped production back in February.
