Diversified Energy Company PLC DEC, in collaboration with Pioneer Energy, has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for a $5 million grant. The initiative has been taken for the seamless adoption of Emission Control Treater (ECT) technology, which eliminates flaring and emissions at marginal conventional wells.
ECT is an innovative and breakthrough technology that performs better separation than the existing phase separators, resulting in increased crude yield by 5-10%. The ECT completely processes the crude results in a near-zero-emissions production facility. The new technology utilizes cloud-connected automation that can enable remote monitoring, saving manpower and maintenance costs. ECT will help improve the economic life of the wells as well as eliminate methane emissions and wasteful flaring. The ECT technology will help to accomplish the nation’s goal of improving domestic oil production while protecting the environment.
The grant will help the companies with the necessary funds to scale down the ECT to process production from marginal wells. It will also help the companies to design the ECT units as an inexpensive replacement for surface infrastructure. The new groundbreaking technology will be demonstrated by DEC on several sites in the Cotton Valley Basin in East Texas.
