As the Oil & Gas industry adapts to new environmental standards introduced through the EPA regulation OOOOb, operators are looking for low-emission substitutes for traditional instrument gas systems for pneumatic devices. Factors like power availability, extreme climates, retrofit feasibility, and long-term operating costs influence the most economical and technically viable instrument gas alternatives factor into […]
At one of our recent ethanol projects, we were tasked with developing a relief solution for a dense-phase CO2 system. Like most early-stage sequestration sites in the U.S., this one had no simple way to recycle or offload off-spec product during a process upset. When working with dense-phase CO2, roughly 300 psi and as cold […]
As Colorado increases its efforts to combat climate change, the regulatory landscape for industrial operators (particularly in the natural gas processing plant and gathering system sectors) is evolving rapidly. The latest development, Colorado Air Quality Control Commission (AQCC) Regulation 22, introduces stringent greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting and reduction mandates that will significantly impact how midstream […]
The recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act preserved and enhanced carbon capture and storage (CCS) opportunities. One of the most impactful provisions for carbon capture is the expansion of the 45Q tax credit to $85 per metric ton for CO₂ used in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) when the CO₂ is permanently stored in geological formations. This update significantly improves the financial […]
Production Gas Gathering: Liquid Management Strategies for Compression Systems Design Safe and efficient compressor systems design for operations is more critical than ever in today’s competitive energy landscape. We see our clients focusing on increasing reliability and availability with their design by reducing site releases and shutdowns related to liquid management. Not only are they […]
The development of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects presents unique opportunities and challenges for investment firms looking to deploy capital into the carbon capture space. CANUSA EPC, with its extensive experience in evaluating and developing carbon capture projects, offers valuable insights and strategies to navigate this complex landscape. Determining Your Levelized Cost of […]
