Vent Gas Capture Systems (VGCS) convert routine vent streams into useful gas while maintaining zero or near-zero backpressure at the source. The result is measurable emissions reduction, cleaner reporting, and improved site efficiency without disrupting existing equipment.
Vent Gas Capture Systems (VGCS) are a powerful tool in reducing methane emissions in natural gas operations. In Canada, where emissions regulations are tightening and taxes are on the rise, the demand for VGCS in industrial environments is growing steadily.
If you're managing an upstream or midstream facility and searching for practical ways to reduce vented methane, improve ESG performance, or meet regulations like Canada's federal methane reduction rules, this guide is for you.
The oil and gas industry continues to feel increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with methane mitigation emerging as a top priority. Methane, a potent GHG with a global warming potential (GWP) approximately 25 times greater than carbon dioxide, is frequently released during production, compression, and storage activities.
Vent Gas Capture Systems (VGCS) have become a reliable, field-proven solution to address routine venting and recover valuable hydrocarbons. This article provides a detailed, engineering-focused overview of vent gas capture technology, its applications, system advantages, and considerations for implementation.
