Pneumatic device replacement

This resource outlines the work and research conducted by EQT’s Production and Environmental teams to target low-cost opportunities for abating methane emissions from natural gas-driven pneumatic devices. It useful for professionals trying to implement similar project and learn for real deployments.

Reducing methane emissions: Best practice guide – pneumatic devices

An oil field at night, with two engineers standing in front of it.

This document provides best practices for reducing or eliminating methane emissions from pneumatic devices. The guide outlines methods such as replacing pneumatic devices with electrical or mechanical alternatives, using compressed air instead of natural gas, capturing vented gas, or switching to low-bleed devices. It also emphasizes regular inspections and repairs of devices with higher-than-expected emissions. […]

OGMP technical guidance documents

An engineer working on a pipeline of an oil field. The floor and some of the pipe are vivid yellow, contrasting against the orange of the worker's high vis protective clothing and white hard hat.

Technical Guidance Documents (TGDs) on each of the nine core emission sources covered by OGMP. The guidance documents present suggested methodologies for quantifying methane emissions from each source and describe established mitigation options that could be referenced when determining if the source is “mitigated. The resources include technical guidance documents addressing various aspects of methane […]

Updated cost-effectiveness tool & report for US

This report, commissioned by CATF (https://www.regulations.gov/comment/EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0317-0845) is to be used as an annex to the 2016 report, ‘Zero emission technologies for pneumatic controllers in the USA’. This report presents advancements in the zero-emission controller technologies presented in the 2016 report, and newer technologies suitable in this context.

Pneumatic devices for methane reduction: case study

This methane reduction project case study was presented at the Methane Guiding Principles 2023 Masterclass by Jesse Sandlin, Methane Reduction Facility Engineering Advisor at Chevron. Jesse talks in detail about pneumatic controllers/devices, why they are used and how different controllers can be used for different solutions.
