OilPro is constantly on the lookout for new solutions that help those in the oil & gas business do business better. There are so many ways a business can accomplish this.
Some of them include:
- Implementing more efficient and sustainable production processes to reduce environmental impact and costs.
- Investing in renewable energy sources to diversify their energy portfolio.
- Developing and implementing a robust safety and risk management program.
- Developing and implementing a strategy for managing and reducing carbon emissions.
Sometimes, you come across a solution that can help you accomplish multiple things at the same thing.
With that in mind, OilPro now offers condensate recovery solutions that do exactly that.
OilPro offers proven, practical, and cost-effective technology to reduce/ eliminate tank emissions and strip valuable condensate otherwise vented or flared.
Let’s take a closer look at what this entails and how it benefits your business.
What is the purpose of a condensate recovery solution?
Condensate recovery solutions are used to collect and reuse the condensate that is produced during industrial processes. Condensate is essentially water that has been condensed from steam, and it can contain valuable heat energy as well as dissolved minerals and other impurities.
By recovering this condensate, companies can save on energy costs, reduce water usage and discharge, and improve overall process efficiency. Condensate recovery solutions can also help to reduce emissions and minimize environmental impact.
A modern solution can also potentially help you generate revenue by selling condensate or by blending it with oil sales, as we’ll see below. This can not only add to your bottom line but can also help you reduce and even eliminate harmful emissions. This is key if you live in an area with increasingly stringent environment regulations, which you probably do.
How OilPro helps
OilPro employs two proven solutions to accomplish this:
1. Our “VET” process (venturi-ejector technology)
We use disposal water as the motive fluid to entrain & compress gas. One Bakken tank farm currently venting 300,000 SCF/d of 2,300 BTU/ft3 gas was shown to be able to achieve a condensate volume of ~ 70 Bbl/d recoverable. Once installed the site can have conditioned fuel gas for on-site power generation. Outlet gas reduced to 184,000 SCFD (nearly 50% reduction of original waste gas).
Depending on site conditions, condensate can blend into sales oil or sold as NGL’s. In some cases, project payout is less than 6 months.
The wetter the gas the more the Venturis shine versus conventional VRU’s.
2. Our “MRU” process (Micro refrigeration units)
A Micro Refridge unit with a small footprint to recover liquids from wet gas coming off storage tanks, treaters, or other waste gas destined for flaring. The remaining conditioned gas delivers a clean burning flare or renders clean dry fuel gas to power generation equipment and onsite data mining operations
The MRU is also used to strip liquids and condition the gas for gas injection systems.
Monetize the condensate while improving the gas for injection. Results are better injection performance and less problems with downhole equipment.
Summary
Are you looking to add to your bottom line? OilPro’s condensate recovery solutions help you:
- Recover & sell as oil, condensate, or improve oil API
- Reduce emissions/ stay under permit limits
- Clean fuel gas for power generation, deliver to grid or utility
- Receive carbon credits to offset or trade
