Desiccant Dehydrators

Replacing glycol dehydrators with desiccant dehydrators that use moisture absorbing salts to remove water reduces dehydrator emissions and also results in lower operating and maintenance costs.

Electric Glycol Circulation Pumps

Replacing a gas-assist glycol circulation pump with an electric glycol circulation pump avoids the emissions from the assist gas.

Mechanical Controllers

Replacing natural gas-powered pneumatic controllers with mechanical controllers can reduce methane emissions.

Plunger Lift System Without Planned Atmospheric Venting

Installing a plunger lift system is an effective method for removing accumulated liquids and restoring gas pressure. Plunger lift systems without planned venting eliminate the emissions associated with well blowdowns used to remove the accumulated liquid.

Electric Compressor Motors

Electric Compressor Motors: Installing an electric motor, in place of a gas-fired engine, can reduce methane emissions, increase operational efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs.

Pipeline Hot Taps

Hot tapping is a procedure used to make a new pipeline connection while the pipeline remains in service, flowing natural gas under pressure. The operator can make a new connection without having to shut down the pipeline or performing pipeline blowdown.

Pressurized Storage Tank

Replacing an atmospheric pressure storage tank with a pressurized storage tank can significantly reduce emissions of methane and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Advanced Methane Detection

2009 West Virginia Production Technology Transfer Workshop

Presentations made during the Production Technology Transfer Workshop held on February 27, 2009 in Charleston, West Virginia.

Marginal Conventional Wells

Well completion is the process of bringing an oil or gas well into production. Completion steps involve casing, cementing, perforating, hydraulically fracturing in the reservoir, expelling fluids, and installing the production valve.

Well Plugging

A reduced emissions completion (REC) is a practice that employs equipment to capture gas produced during well completions following hydraulic fracturing and deliver it to the sales line. Compared to traditional completions, RECs reduce methane emissions.

EPA EcoBox Tools by Exposure Pathways - Water and Sediment

Eco-Box is a toolbox for exposure assessors. Its purpose is to provide a compendium of exposure assessment and risk characterization tools that will present comprehensive step-by-step guidance and links to relevant exposure assessment data bases

EPA Reports to Congress on Technology Transfer

These reports summarize technology transfer activities of the EPA’s federal laboratories, by fiscal year. These are required by congress annually.
