The Future of Solvent Extraction in Alberta: A Glimpse into SAGD Alternatives

In the oil and gas industry, there is a shift from steam-assisted gravity drainage (SADG) for oil expression processes to a solvent-based, more environmentally friendly approach.  What Is SAGD (Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage)? SAGD (also called steam flooding process) is a drilling technique used to extract crude oil that is otherwise

The Green Solution: Vapour Recovery Units and Environmental Sustainability

Crude oil storage tanks often leak methane (CH4) and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Methane is an odourless, colourless, flammable gas with 70 times greater global warming potential than carbon dioxide as it traps more heat in the atmosphere. Methane is responsible for 30% of global warming to this point.

Maximizing Oil Well Efficiency with Casing Gas Compressors

Maximizing Oil Well Efficiency with Casing Gas Compressors

Oil and natural gas companies are interested in increasing efficiency and optimizing well production to secure profits, meet emission regulations, and protect the environment. Constantly evolving technology assists these endeavours. The casing gas compressor is an example of this technology, allowing increased production/efficiency, minimizing problems, and assisting in emission reduction.

Evolution of Compression Technologies

The Evolution of Compression Technologies

The process of compression plays an essential role in modern life, helping humans complete tasks in a variety of ways. Compressors are critical components in many industries (oil/gas, manufacturing, construction, automotive, industrial, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, mining, food & beverage, etc.). The following is a brief history of how these pivotal machines

what is a vapor recovery unit

What are VRU Compressors and How Do They Impact the Environment?

Vapours are released into the atmosphere every time an oil/gas storage tank is filled. These organic compounds (VOCs) react with nitrogen oxides in sunlight and form ground-level ozone, a substance that is highly toxic to humans, is a strong environmental pollutant and a factor in global warming. These toxic and

how reciprocating compressor works

What is a Reciprocating Compressor and How Does it Work?

A reciprocating compressor, also known as a piston compressor, is a positive displacement machine that uses a piston-driven crankshaft located inside a cylinder to pressurize air. This style of compressor has been widely used for over 200 years! Air compression makes materials (natural gas, hydrogen, oxygen, and other gasses) easier
