Data and Tools

Flash Tank Separators

During the dehydration process, glycol absorbs methane, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from the wet gas. A flash tank separator can be used in the dehydration process to remove the gas absorbed by glycol.

Electric Glycol Circulation Pumps

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

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.

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.

Air Starters

Air Starters use compressed air, instead of natural gas, to start internal combustion engines for compressors, generators, and pumps. This mitigation option eliminates methane emissions from engine start-ups.

Well Completions and Workovers

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.

Compressor Station Blowdowns

Compressor stations are taken offline (depressurized) for operational or maintenance needs. To take a compressor station offline, station or unit isolation valves are closed and the gas within the compressors is vented to the atmosphere (i.e., blowdown).

Compressor Starts

Compressors driven by gas engines are often equipped with small gas expansion turbine motors to start the engine. These motors initiate startup of the engine with expansion of pressurized gas across the starter turbine; that gas is then vented.

EPA Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Activities Map

The map is a visual tool that includes individual data points representing compliance monitoring (including inspections) and enforcement activities at facilities throughout the Region 6 states.

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.
