EcoVapor Case Studies
Why Are My Well Sites Still Flaring? In light of more stringent emissions rules and environmental performance mandates to achieve net-zero emissions and eliminate routine flaring, current production practices are being reexamined. In our first blog post on the subject Zero Routine Flaring Targets Cannot Be Met Without Addressing Tank Battery Flaring and Venting, we…
What is the Zero Routine Flaring (ZRF) Initiative? In light of more stringent emissions rules and environmental performance mandates to achieve net-zero emissions and eliminate routine flaring, current production practices are being reexamined. In 2015, The World Bank launched the Zero Routine Flaring (ZRF) initiative to encourage governments and upstream producers to eliminate the practice…
In our Case Study, Zero Routine Flaring Targets Cannot Be Met Without Addressing Tank Battery Flaring and Venting, we cover emissions measurement in more depth and provide a case study demonstrating how one E&P operator discovered tank batteries were the largest source of well site emissions. Download the Case Study Case Study Summary In light of…
Deploying new technology at older production sites to capture flared gas and reduce emissions can be challenging. Marginal production rates discourage any increase in operating costs, but it can be done – profitably. The operator of a historic field in Texas, a major integrated oil company, approached EcoVapor for help in recovering and selling associated…
TCEQ allows operators who install emissions mitigation technologies to reduce PTE by up to 100% of estimated vapor emission reductions. The Case Study details how fast track drilling permits to maximize operational efficiencies and optimize returns on resource development.
Ecovapor was recently asked to assist an operator in the Permian “water midstream”, which develops and manages infrastructure for handling produced water from oil and gas production sites. In the recent past, lightning provided an ignition source for the vapors in the atmospheric storage tanks and resulted in significant damage to the site. The force of the detonation also posed a serious safety threat to any operating personnel at the site.
This case study details how ZerO2 units can be used to produce a guaranteed oxygen-free safety blanket that significantly reduces the risk of explosions in Water Midstream (SWD).
This case study details how an operator in the DJ Basin of Colorado reduced emissions levels associated with truck loadouts to lower overall Potential to Emit from the production pad. Lower PTE facilitates more efficient permitting and compliance, reducing operating costs and minimizing capital investment.
A leading E&P operator in the Mid-Continent region was flaring more than expected at one of its production pads, resulting in lost gas sales revenue and complaints from nearby residents. As more wells were added to the multi-well pad, oil production from the Woodford Shale increased and resulted in greater flaring activity. The operator sought…
Two major E&P companies partnered with EcoVapor to conduct a controlled study for assessing the efficiency, effectiveness and economics of using the latest vapor recovery technology available to operators today. This multi-site test provides a true head-to-head comparison of production sites equipped with the EcoVapor ZerO2 solution and those using only VRUs or VRTs. On…
This Case Study describes how Shell adopted the ZerO2™ solution to help reduce the level of flaring from its oil and gas production operations in the Permian Basin. We cover the situation the operator faced and the reasons for selecting the ZerO2 solution, as well as the benefits directly attributed to the ZerO2. “Shell has…
