Methane Emissions in the Oil and Gas Industry: Why Compliance Isn’t Enough

Methane emissions from the energy sector are increasingly under the spotlight. Recent satellite imagery from MethaneSAT and CarbonMapper reveals that emissions are higher than previously reported, largely due to inefficiencies in flaring and unaccounted leaks across the value chain. While regulatory frameworks exist to minimise the environmental impact of flare gas, they are not enough […]

Case Studies – Lack of Space

Challenge Ultrasonic flow meters require a certain amount of straight piping free from any obstructions such as bends, valves etc. for them to measure the flow accurately. In this case the flare left the knockout drum and went immediately to the underground channel leaving not enough straight piping for a flare meter to be installed. […]
