Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Oilfield gas that is released directly without treatment emits large amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide.
Gas Flaring Venting: In oilfields lacking utilization facilities, associated gas is often burned off (flaring) or vented directly, leading to energy waste and environmental pollution.

Gas Capture Re-injection
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Technologies
Carbon Capture Storage (CCS)
Regulations and Compliance: Governments worldwide have implemented strict emission limits, such as the U.S. EPA’s methane emission standards and the European Union’s carbon tax policies, compelling oil and gas companies to increase their gas recovery and utilization rates. Click here to learn more
