The Problem of Flaring

Routine & Widespread - Natural gas, including gas streams rich in natural

gas liquids, are routinely flared all around the world.

Stranded Wells - Gathering pipelines can transport such gases to large

processing facilities where they can be separated. However, geographical

remoteness and lack of capital often leave wells stranded and result in flaring.

Pollution & Waste - Flaring produces pollution and wastes valuable

resources.


5,400 billion ft3 (152 billion m3) of gas is flared worldwide per year.

Pioneer Energy’s Innovations

Mobile & Modular Gas Processing Systems – To address the problem of

geographical remoteness and capital requirements associated with large

processing plants, Pioneer developed modular, scalable gas processing

systems that reside at the field site. We can process any size flare.

Automation as a key enabler – We leverage advanced automation to enable

self-sufficient remote operation with a minimum of personnel, overcoming the

barrier of economy of scale. Our units are remotely monitored over the net.

Extreme flexibility on input gas – To optimize the output commercial

product streams, our solutions have been designed to accommodate a wide

range of input gas conditions.

Superior Capture Efficiency – Our solutions capture, process and monetize

any hydrocarbon gas stream that would otherwise be vented or flared.

Turnkey solutions – Pioneer Energy is your one-stop shop for a complete

solution for all your flare reduction needs.

Process & Operational Safety

Intelligent site integration

Equipment connected so that there is always a safe path to flare. Regardless of process or hardware upsets, site

production will not be affected.

High pressure flexible hoses, heavy schedule piping and flanges, and pressure safety valves (PSVs) used for

field connections to equipment.

Local ESD button provided to allow emergency shutdown by site operators.

Superior technical design & integration with operations

Instrument gas not vented to atmosphere.

Blowdown system safely drains liquids from the process vessels at shutdown.

Sophisticated on-board control system automates equipment operation and performs self-diagnostics and

corrections.

Data collected in real time and transmitted to remote monitoring station anywhere in the world. Monitoring

performed by an experienced and trained control room operator.

Local field technicians perform routine maintenance and respond to service requests as needed to ensure

maximum uptime.

Extensive code compliance

NGL handling in accordance with NFPA 58 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code.

Field wiring in accordance with NFPA 70 Class I, Division 2 standard.

Field work performed in accordance with industry best practices such as Job Safety Analysis, appropriate PPE,

and hot work permits.
