DENVER, CO (December 4, 2023) – EcoVapor, a DNOW Company, today announced the successful installation and startup of a Tank Commander™ Vapor Management System (VMS) for a new customer. This is the first of two planned VMS units to be deployed for a major Oil & Gas operator for its wells producing from the Bakken…
Oil and gas Facilities Engineers have the difficult task of managing Lease Operating Expense (LOE) of surface production equipment as output naturally declines over time. Equipment installed for initial production (IP) flow rates can quickly become oversized as a well ages, which can affect performance and per-unit operating costs. Right-sizing facilities to simultaneously optimize production…
While biogas is commonly used for generating site power and heat, biogas in its raw form is not a substitute for commercial natural gas due to its relatively low methane (energy) content and the presence of various contaminants. Typical biogas contains 40-60% methane with the balance composed principally of carbon dioxide, but also inert compounds…

This marks the 11th installment of the event. Hans Mueller, EcoVapor’s Director of Operations and Technology, will be presenting the findings…
The interest in purifying biogas production into Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) in the U.S. stems in large part from its negative carbon footprint. Unlike other sources of energy production, biogas removes methane emissions from decaying organic matter on farms and landfills that would have otherwise been vented to the atmosphere, while generating hydrocarbon gas for…
In March 2023, Colorado Governor Jared Polis directed the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) to adopt stringent regulations aimed at sharply cutting emissions of ozone precursors by the state’s oil and gas industry by 2030. In a letter to the COGCC, the governor signaled a shift towards more comprehensive regulations that prioritize environmental…
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced its proposal to update and revise the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule as covered in 40 CFR Part 98. The rule effectively sets the requirements for reporting methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide emissions in the oil and gas production, processing, and transmission industry sector. The EPA’s most recent…
Enerplus, a large independent exploration & production company recognized the EcoVapor ZerO2™ solution for eliminating tank flaring as one of the key technologies it uses to reduce emissions at operated well sites located in the Bakken oil shale play of North Dakota. In Enerplus ESG Report released on June 2023, the company wrote: “…14 sites…
EcoVapor installed an Emissions Scout emissions testing unit at an oil and gas production site in North Dakota in early June at the request of the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC), who is gathering data on tank battery conditions and tank vapor volumes to aid in the state’s commitment to reductions in gas flaring. …
