Abstract:
Apparatus and method for capturing and combusting all vented natural gas and control natural gases from pneumatic controllers for oil field equipment are described. After an oil or gas well is drilled and completed, separators or treaters, as an example of oil field equipment, are installed on the surface to separate the liquids (oil/condensate and water) and gases (natural gas/methane). Pressure control valves, liquid control valves, temperature control valves, and the like, are pneumatically operated by the natural gas/methane that the separator is processing for sale, when electricity is not available to provide power for these operations. Presently, the pneumatic controllers discharge the pneumatic gas/methane to the atmosphere.
