Emissions Reduction

HEAVY OIL VENT MITIGATION OPTIONS – 2ND EDITION 2015

This report describes the various types of primary heavy oil operations found in Western Canada, which constitutes a significant reduction target for either Federal or Provincial Policy.

CANADIAN UPSTREAM OIL AND GAS ECO-EFFICIENCY EQUIPMENT AND OPERATIONS HANDBOOK

Showcases a collection of commercially-demonstrated products and practices available for the Canadian oil and gas industry.

AUXILIARY BURNER SYSTEM IN GLYCOL DEHYDRATION UNITS

This system has proven that it is a reliable technology that can be used by Operators to virtually eliminate the BTEX vented emissions from Glycol dehydrators.

ANALYSIS AND REPORTING OF A TRIAL OF GASPRO COMPRESSION BTEX VRU FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND EMISSIONS REDUCTION

The major challenge in reducing emissions from dehydration systems is designing systems to capture the gas from the flash tank vent and still column (glycol regenerator) overheads.
