Offshore there are not all that many vertical flares. Angled flares booms are far more common in my experience. Occasionally a vertical flare might be located on its own adjacent platform, but its a bit rare. Most I've seen look like these. Some are completely horizontal.

The boom might be at an angle but the end flare tip bit is vertical or near vertical.

That one the end of the pipe is horizontal

They must have lost the installation instructions.
Not sure that tip angle actually matters a whole lot.
Why would it have to be pointing up? Out and away seems better.

Full speed ahead.

OK point made about which way it points.

But all the ends are 90 degrees to the pipe.
