Flaring Compliance Enhancement for a Leading Energy Corporation

The Challenge

A leading energy producer in Texas faced significant challenges after being fined for non-compliance with state flaring regulations. The company struggled to monitor and document black smoke emissions from flare stacks across their widespread and remote wellsites. Traditional methods, which rely heavily on manual site inspections, were inefficient and unsuitable for the task.

The Solution

To address these challenges, the company turned to Andium, who enabled the customer to:

Monitor Flaring activity around the clock: The company can detect issues with flare stacks as they occur, ensuring an immediate response.

Reduce Windshield Time: Operators are alerted to specific sites needing attention, which significantly reduces unnecessary travel.

Comply with Evolving Regulations: Over-the-air software updates are done in response to regulatory standard changes, ensuring continuous compliance.

Buffering

The Result

With the implementation of Andium technology, the energy company is efficiently monitoring hundreds of flare stacks in real-time across all their locations in Texas. They benefit from:

Regulatory Compliance: The effectiveness in monitoring and reporting ensures that the company meets regulatory standards.

Improved Visibility and Efficiency: With new insights from around-the-clock monitoring, operators are able to immediately identify problematic locations and optimize site visits.

Cost Savings: The company avoided further regulatory penalties and optimized operational costs.

The Conclusion

The adoption of Andium technology marked a pivotal shift in how the energy producer is managing flare monitoring. This successful implementation positioned Andium as the primary solution provider for flare stack monitoring in an ever-changing regulatory landscape, leading to companies sustained operational efficiency.
