If this is a use for otherwise wasted flare gas that’d be a totally different story but I feel like that would be mentioned if that was the case.

In 2025, Texas vented or flared enough natural gas to generate roughly 2 gigawatts of useful electrical power continuously for the same period.

A lot of gas is burned off simply because it cannot be delivered. Pipelines have a maximum capacity and short term storage is limited.
Most flaring happens where there isn't gathering infrastructure, for example byproduct gas at an oil (only) well.
2GW, not 400.
