Affordable Zero-Emission Fail-Safe Electric Dump Valve Actuator (EDVA) Phase 2
Linear Motion Technologies (LMT) Electric Dump Valve Actuator (EDVA) will both replace a large percentage of pneumatic devices currently in use and provide a more efficient and affordable alternative for new installations. Replacing pneumatic actuators with EDVAs completely eliminates all associated methane emissions. Furthermore, the EDVA requires fewer and far simpler parts than competitive devices,…

Demonstrating the impact of genomics-enhanced whole herd genetic management platform on reducing beef greenhouse gas emissions
This project includes the development and demonstration of a genomics enhanced whole herd genetic management platform for the beef industry. This platform will predict the genetic merit of growth, feed efficiency, carcass, and fertility traits as well as retained hybrid vigor. Demonstration of the platform is based on the premise that more efficient cattle not…

Kinitics Valve Actuator for Gas Producers
Methane venting at Canadian natural gas producers’ well sites is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. Pneumatic control devices that use natural gas to operate are a major contributor to this methane venting. According to a recent study, methane venting from pneumatic devices at well sites in Alberta alone is estimated at over 475,000…

Multi Component Downhole Injection System
Challenger Technical Service’s MCDIS project is designed to eliminate fugitive GHG emissions that occur on existing oil and gas wells. The system will offer a dramatic improvement in the success rate and lifetime of a gas migration repair by introducing new intervention equipment and methods. Two materials are injected separately into a leaking wellbore, where…

Canadian Natural Fugitive Emissions Study Using Aerial Detection Technology
Canadian Natural will pilot an Alternative Fugitive Emissions Management (alt-FEMP) aerial screening technology coupled with ground-based detection. This project is intended to be a part of Canadian Natural’s larger overall Alt-FEMP program, which will cover their conventional oil and gas facilities, province-wide, across a diverse set of operational conditions. With Canadian Natural’s scale (almost 20%…
