It depends which burning pipe you are talking about. There is the one that comes out the top of the rig called the flare which is to burn off small amounts of gas that breaks out of the oil for 1 of 2 reasons. reason 1 is that there is nowhere else to put the gas so it is burnt and the other reason is that the amount is too small to keep.
There is then a " burning pipe " coming out of the side of the rig which is called a burner boom and is used during welltest operations when exploration wells are cleaned up and the rates from the well checked, the only thing to do with all this oil and gas after checking it is to burn it, which as i said is done on the burner booms which come out of the side or back of the rig.
