  • Nano-modified Polymer Additive for Cement to Stop Methane Gas Migration

    TS-Nano is piloting a patented nano-modified polymer to improve cement sealing performance by resisting methane gas migration. The polymer supplements cement’s hydrostatic pressure during gelling and solidification, significantly reducing surface casing vent flow and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The technology will be tested with cement commonly used in Alberta’s oil and gas sector to tackle

  • Nitrogen to Eliminate Tank Venting

    Storage tanks are a significant source of emissions in the oil and gas industry. Recent studies estimate that these tanks account for a quarter of all methane emissions from upstream oil and gas operations. The proposed project, Nitrogen to Eliminate Tank Venting, seeks to eliminate the practice of routine tank venting through the use of

  • Launching the GoVAC® MAX System in Alberta

    When natural gas pipeline operators perform maintenance operations, upgrade pipelines, remove pipelines from service, or conduct pigging operations, the segment of pipeline being worked on must be evacuated of the natural gas prior to commencing work. Too often this natural gas is simply released, or vented, releasing methane into the atmosphere. Another common practice is

  • Casing Expansion for Annular Wellbore Methane Leakage

    Casing Expansion Tool to Shut Off Methane Leaks in Wells Approved for funding through ERA’s Partnership Intake Program in 2020, this project involved trialing Winterhawk’s Casing Expansion Technology (CET) in seven oil and gas wellbores with known surface casing vent flows (SCVFs). SCVF is the uncontrolled flow of gas or liquid out of the well
