Preliminary Case Study Results - Bakken Flaring Mitigation

The State of North Dakota Department of Health and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) have recently begun to regulate open flaring of raw gas (untreated) and fuel gas (treated). Texas A&M/Institute of Renewal Natural Resources (IRNR) visited a Hess site in the Bakken Shale Play in North Dakota during September 8-10, 2015 to collect research data as part of an emissions research study for comparing emissions from the Gulf Coast Green Energy’s (GCGE) ElectraTherm Power+ generator (Power+) system’s boiler with the emissions from open flaring.
