      abstract = {This paper develops a source-to-market decision framework that treats safety, recovery reliability, product route, emissions, and economics as linked design variables. The study responds to the problem that routine and non-routine flaring wastes saleable hydrocarbons, creates combustion emissions, and signals weak integration between production and gas-handling capacity. It uses an integrative conceptual review of scholarly and professional literature published to date. The framework organizes eight decision functions: source measurement and compositional characterization, flare network hydraulic analysis, technology screening, availability and turndown modelling, economic evaluation, implementation risk review, performance monitoring, continuous optimization. It applies those functions across flare header and knockout drum, compression train, gas treating and dehydration unit, natural gas liquids recovery section, export pipeline interface, power-generation or reinjection system. The analysis treats uncertainty, process safety, reliability, environmental performance, resource efficiency, economics, and organizational control as connected requirements. The proposed architecture links a system definition, evidence register, model assumptions, intervention portfolio, verification plan, and learning cycle. Its central proposition is that traceable decisions convert recoverable associated gas into fuel, pipeline gas, liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas liquids, electricity, reinjection gas, or chemical feedstock when decisions preserve traceability from measured conditions to selected actions and verified outcomes. The paper offers testable propositions, an implementation roadmap, asset-specific application protocols, and a research agenda. The framework supports case-study testing and quantitative extension without claiming universal performance before field validation.},
