Methane
The gas that comes from under the North Sea and burns with a blue flame is methane (natural gas). Methane is a commonly extracted gas from offshore platforms in the North Sea and is used for fuel and heating purposes. Its blue flame is characteristic of its clean combustion.
When burning, methane produces a clean, blue flame due to its high combustion efficiency. The flame can appear almost transparent, with a faint blue hue, and it emits minimal smoke and soot compared to other fuels. Incomplete combustion may result in a yellow or orange flame, indicating the presence of unburned carbon particles. Overall, methane combustion primarily generates carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Oxygen is the gas in the air that is essential for methane to burn. When methane combines with oxygen in the presence of a flame or spark, it undergoes combustion to produce water vapor and carbon dioxide.
Methane is a gas, so won't be hot unless ignited. The heat is about the same as a candle, unless air is used to feed the flame - same as on a bunsen burner.
When natural gas (methane) and air are properly mixed, a blue flame is produced.
Methane requires a source of ignition, like a flame, to initiate the combustion process. This is because methane needs to reach its ignition temperature before it can react with oxygen in the air to produce a flame. In the absence of a spark or flame, the energy needed to overcome the activation energy barrier is not present to start the reaction.
when collecting methane gas heat (or a flame) is applied to the test tube which usually contains some sort of waste. As the tube is heated it starts producing a methane gas which is captured somewhere else. If the flame is removed gas will stop being produced.
Yes, but if the flame is close enough, it will cause a small flash. The gas emitted is methane.
Methane, butane, propane, etc. are flammable.

Natural gas burns with a blue flame due to its high concentration of methane. The blue color is a result of complete combustion, indicating that the fuel is burning efficiently.
A non luminous flame is produced when the air valve is opened enough to allow complete combustion of the methane gas.
