LNG: Galileo introduced an on-site flare reduction solution to Terra Energy

Galileo Technologies, in partnership with SPATCO Energy Solutions - one of its distributors in North America, has just commissioned an innovative solution for Terra Energy in North Dakota's Bakken shale region to integrate flare gas capture and liquefied natural gas (LNG) production right at the wellhead.

Installed in North Dakota’s Bakken shale region, this solution engineered by Galileo includes a ZPTS^® Plant for Gas Conditioning and a Cryobox^® LNG-Production Station, which turns natural gas into 7,800 to 8,500 gallons (12.3 to 13.4 Tons) of LNG per day based on production output from the wells.

The LNG produced is stored on-site while the boil-off gas is recovered and re-liquefied. LNG is then transported and consumed for drill-rig power generation and frac-water heating.

“We turned the flaring problem into an opportunity. The technology supplied by Galileo allows us to significantly reduce the waste of flaring using that energy to produce additional oil and gas,” said Dustin Hancock, President of Terra Energy Group.
