That would mean the methane gas wasn't seperated properly, leaving a lot of sulphur-containing components in it.

Such gas wouldn't have been very environmentally friendly.

It will burn just as effectively, but short of combustion, if released into the atmosphere in its naturally occurring state, it stinks. Just as telltale as the odor of a fart (which is the essence of it, both figuratively and literally).
