All 18 clusters match sites in the VNF annual flare inventory, the largest credited with 0.266 billion cubic metres in 2024 — evidence these are established flare stacks, not something new.\n\nWhat this is not: a satellite cannot tell a gas flare from a refinery furnace or a kiln, and heat alone says nothing about who operates the site or how much gas is burned. Cloudy nights hide flares, so counts are a floor, not a ceiling. Cold venting and unlit methane leaks are invisible here entirely.\n\nWe would revise if the clusters resolve to non-flare industrial heat, if imagery shows a fire or facility event rather than steady stacks, or if the VNF match proves to be a nearby but different site.\n\nKey numbers:\n- Persistent night-time heat clusters: 18 [firms-flaring-flare-irn-30p7n-49p8e-2026-09-01-2026-09-30]\n- Nights lit, most persistent cluster (of 30): 29 [firms-flaring-flare-irn-30p7n-49p8e-2026-09-01-2026-09-30]\n- Peak fire radiative power (MW): 42.47 [firms-flaring-flare-irn-30p7n-49p8e-2026-09-01-2026-09-30]\n- Clusters matching known VNF flare sites: 18 [firms-flaring-flare-irn-30p7n-49p8e-2026-09-01-2026-09-30]\n- VNF 2024 flared volume, top site (billion m³): 0.266 [firms-flaring-flare-irn-30p7n-49p8e-2026-09-01-2026-09-30]\n- Confirming revisit pass FRP (MW): 25.15 [firms-flaring-flare-irn-30p7n-49p8e-2026-09-27-revisit]\n\nConfidence: high\nCaveats:\n- Thermal sensors cannot distinguish a flare from a furnace, refinery or kiln.\n- FRP is not volume; the VIIRS band saturates on large flares. Volume figures come only from the VNF annual summary for 2024.\n- The VNF match proves the sites are known flares, not that these specific burns happened this week.\n- Cloud or smoke hides nights, so persistence counts are a lower bound.\n- Only two passes per night (~01:30 local); short or intermittent burns between passes are missed.\n- No operator or ownership attribution: a cluster is a place, not a company.\n- Unlit venting and cold methane releases are invisible to this method.","model":{"id":"claude-opus-5","provider":"anthropic"},"promptSha256":"ec0210abb496e1b450687098698218ea428aaf63bf48066a5dad98c713bbebe2","transcriptSha256":"60bda22699ddf1da378478fdb3e9f3e1bb41c0f0ca18a86ee69c5d12b2c2131d","evidenceRefs":["firms-flaring-flare-irn-30p7n-49p8e-2026-09-01-2026-09-30","firms-flaring-flare-irn-30p7n-49p8e-2026-09-27-revisit"]},{"v":1,"eventId":"01a0efea-3360-7df8-bb8b-0a81959220bc","findingId":"01a0e063-8444-7e1d-8c9c-aec271854176","at":"2026-09-30T01:24:58.336Z","actor":"model:claude-sonnet-5","prev":"8ffbde3a8fd5216d7418770524b8112cb1800097fff690dd816f5cf5a559f41e","kind":"reviewed","decision":"approve","tier":2,"note":"All key figures (18 clusters, 29 nights, 42.47 MW peak, 18 VNF matches, 0.266 bcm 2024 volume, 25.15 MW revisit) are directly traceable to the cited evidence items, especially the most recent 30-day window which shows vnfMatched=18.; Caveats section faithfully mirrors the finding's blind spots: sensor cannot distinguish flare types, FRP≠volume, cloud/pass gaps under-count, VNF is an annual not real-time proof, no operator attribution, and cold venting/methane leaks are invisible.; No natural person is named or identifiable; the piece stays at the level of sites, satellites, and inventories.; AOI tags are ['flaring','oil-gas','discovered','irn', site-id] with control:false, so this is not a control site — reporting it as a live finding is appropriate.","verdict":"publish"},{"v":1,"eventId":"01a0efea-3369-7a50-9b2c-6ca287ab23da","findingId":"01a0e063-8444-7e1d-8c9c-aec271854176","at":"2026-09-30T01:24:58.346Z","actor":"model:claude-sonnet-5","prev":"3f561b056adaebb0468bb08c6f60ecb426bbcff3e6ab6fc7a2f61c36b13abaa5","kind":"status_changed","from":"confirmed","to":"published","reason":"autonomous publish: narrated by model:claude-opus-5, reviewed by model:claude-sonnet-5 (policy 2026-09-26-autonomous)","gates":{"narratedBy":"model:claude-opus-5","reviewedBy":["model:claude-sonnet-5"],"policy":"2026-09-26-autonomous"}}],"inclusion":{"index":964,"leafHash":"bb471ef24e10288efe4c83605555ad786a81d35fdc335e1c80cc6d0e98aa6823","proof":["81c9a6833ff80b478ee21519c390a2b17686560ad65c27d6b8f91871e2ee54b8","f434122a20b9906a8b0028d99d8c90850ab4b2e091dfc688d5f50f6e2155fa90","dfed8ea5f9a2938ff735b488850f0af7e829587f069073051c5e18396ed15c92","f03d09f61778113da25d1abb1fd48d266ab0d3a8ba35563ff54eb6dd55459da7","86d57304ddba91cb44fb33ac9e4294873940805fa57f40f04b5b131c5eec4764","d4a69eb9bd4aba2b04a0c06f8365d5c370a5591fa80d0e8a9962a94eea222b01","b151de5eaefddf3d1cfc86f94cdbc3995ed5d406a6c0acfc99649a5d48d50794","5f7580b7f5a7f09ff7675565fb36c19876079a6c101f721419a5a07a7a23b1c1"],"size":971,"root":"65becba35e7b7adb50a8f9aed2d9bcf019d64a4302dd924c1051516e6bcfb1ac"}}
