Well Production Judged From a Flare Shape & Size

Maybe this has been answered before, but I have a question about the shape, size and pressure of a well flare relative to determining the gas production of that well.   Does more pressure & a tighter (longer stream) flare mean more or less gas production or does the appearance of less pressure & a wider flare mean more or less gas production.  I`m wanting to judge various wells by the shape of the flare.   Thanks!

Jim made me do some research, propane burns orange,only blue with proper O2 mixture.

Also in a enclosed area an orange flame is creating carbon monoxide.

Very dangerous
