A method and system for neutralizing various toxic and explosive gases, described particularly with respect to those gases which escape during the drilling of oil and gas wells, including heating the gases to reacting temperature, desulfurizing the gases with a suitable catalyst, and reacting hydrocarbon gases to form inert gases. In one embodiment exhaust gases from existing energy sources are utilized to accomplish heating and these gases are also rendered inert. A means is also disclosed for disposing of large volumes of natural gas produced in "kicks" during the drilling of oil wells.
