Press Release: New Technology CLEARs the Way in Alberta

New Technology CLEARs the Way in Alberta

AMGAS’ innovative CLEAR Process uses specialized Technology for Water Reuse in Unconventional Production

Calgary, Alberta (September 30, 2014) AMGAS Services Inc (AMGAS) launches CLEAR, a chemical free technology used to remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from sour crude oil, condensate and water. AMGAS is exhibiting at the Unconventional Resource Conference in Calgary and representatives from the company will be on hand at booth 512.

With dramatic increases in unconventional shale and oil sands production across Canada, access to and use of fresh water is becoming more and more difficult. This is especially true in areas where water disposal and fresh water restrictions have increased significantly over the last few years. AMGAS CLEAR introduces a chemical free sweetening process that can be used on sour water for either disposal or reuse in well servicing and production applications.

“AMGAS designed the CLEAR process to provide a chemical free way to treat sour oil in certain applications, however the process has really taken hold in areas where treating sour water is just as important”, says Sheldon McKee, Director of Business & Product Development for AMGAS. “CLEAR has shown it can reduce disposal and operational costs by as much as 50% ”. 

The AMGAS CLEAR process allows for H2S removal without introducing any chemical into the produced fluid thereby leaving no converted sulphides after treatment. The process was designed to prevent chemical overtreatment or under-treatment in sweetening operations but can be even more important when treating sour water that will be reused in oil sands or fracking operations. 

“We saw the amount of cost going into chemically treating sour oil”, says McKee. “Developing new ideas to tackle these old problems is what AMGAS has been working on since the company was founded over 25 years ago.”

In 2012 the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) released, ‘CAPP Hydraulic Fracturing Practice: Water Sourcing, Measurement and Reuse’, outline guiding principles for operational practices. One of the main guidelines mandates continued advancement, collaboration and communication of technologies and best practices to reduce environmental risk. CLEAR is the outcome of initiatives like this to improve water reuse and disposal.

Press Release: Caught in the ACT

Caught in the ACT

New Amgas Capture Technology (ACT) eliminates harmful emissions during Shutdown and Turnarounds 

Fort McMurray, AB (February 2014) AMGAS Services Inc (AMGAS) launches the AMGAS Capture Technology (ACT) line of products and services to mitigate the dangers of BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylenes) and hydrocarbon emissions during shutdowns and turnarounds. With new information on the dangers of BTEX and hydrocarbon exposure to worker’s long-term and short-term health, the need to control these emissions have never been more important.

Functioning as an additional level of protection for personnel, the ACT product line joins AMGAS’s full service program to safely control hazardous emissions. BTEX and other Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are almost always present in turnaround operations, even more common than the presence of Hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Large-scale emission control projects demand high volume BTEX and noxious odor control. The technology used in ACT products and services have the capacity to meet this demand while remaining reliable and a cost effective addition to more standard H2S removal services.

“ACT is in direct response to our client needs,” says Steve Martinson, General Manager at AMGAS. “We are fortunate that our in-house research and development department has a track record of creating innovative technologies like ACT so we can better provide solutions for our clients. ACT covers all the bases so workers know their health and safety are not being compromised”

Treating H2S during shutdowns and turnarounds to mitigate risks is the foundation of AMGAS’s business. AMGAS treats sour oil and gas at all stages of the shutdown and turnaround process. Similar to H2S, BTEX, hydrocarbon and other VOC’s can be naturally occurring and also created during production. The new technology is an enhancement of AMGAS expertise to treat BTEX emissions to increase safety, cut downtime and decrease costs.

“We are excited to add ACT to the list of service profiles for turnarounds and shutdowns,” says Martinson. “The technology has a bright future. We know down the road ACT will be a major player in all our service lines.”

AMGAS offers a wide range of services, including H2S and BTEX removal and control measures aimed at mitigating the dangers associated with processing sour oil and natural gas. AMGAS offers truck loading, fluid treatment and tank venting, which are all serviced by trained professionals.

Press Release: AMGAS Full Service H2S and Other Noxious Emission Treatment Program Launches in Saskatchewan for Environmental Emission Control

Regina, SK (April 2013) AMGAS Services Inc (AMGAS), a full service H2S and noxious emissions treatment company launches Saskatchewan operations in part due to recent provincial changes in flaring, incinerating and venting regulations. AMGAS will be exhibiting at the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference April 30- May 2, 2013 at booth C in the equipment display section.

 As of July 2012 Saskatchewan Upstream Flaring and Incineration Requirements (Directive S-20), declares that gases with levels of H2S greater than or equal to 10 mol/kil must be treated before being vented from a well facility, pipeline or flared. The initiative calls to enforce stricter regulation on flaring and venting emissions to ensure environmentally responsible development of the Saskatchewan oil and gas industry.

“Our mission is to proactively treat all H2S instances in the field and during transport, we aim to provide clients the very best solutions at the intersection of service, chemical and equipment,” says Steve Martinson, General Manager of AMGAS. “With the changes in Saskatchewan regulations we expect our services will be in high demand as our processes and services are designed to eliminate air contaminates at the source.”

AMGAS treats sour oil, gas and water at all stages of production. AMGAS offers vacuum truck and tank venting, fan assisted tank venting and fluid treatment, which are all serviced by their team of experts. AMGAS` scavenging and scrubbing chemicals are supported by experts with the knowledge and experience necessary to reduce costs, environmental impact and increase safety. Their scrubbing units along with specific scavenging chemicals are used to treat sour vapor prior to being vented into the atmosphere.

“Enerplus has worked in the southeast Saskatchewan area for 20 years and has sour gas facilities. We now rely on AMGAS to provide scrubber units,” says Chuck Hignett, Operations Foreman at Enerplus. “Now, in light of the changes to S-20, their complete service and equipment operations are more important than ever.”

 “Fugitive emissions during flaring/incinerating need to minimized and to do this good housekeeping must be implemented,” says Martinson. “At AMGAS this means full service, 24 hours, 365 days a year. We work in locations were H2S levels must be lower than 10 mol/kil and know what measure must be taken to control emissions”.

Press Release: AMGAS Services Inc Launches New Sour Oil Recovery Process in the Middle East as a Safe, Cost-Effective Alternative to Crude Oil Flaring

AMGAS Services Inc Launches New Sour Oil Recovery Process in the Middle East as a Safe, Cost-Effective Alternative to Crude Oil Flaring 

Abu Dhabi, UAE (March 24, 2013) AMGAS Services Inc. (AMGAS) today announced the launch of its new Sour Crude Oil Recovery (SCOR) process in response to the increased development of sour oil and gas in the Middle East. Sour oil and gas well intervention is difficult to handle and treat due to lack of infrastructure, technology and experience in the Middle East. As a result, those crude resources, laden with Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), have been routinely flared, leading to a loss of commercial goods as well as presenting environmental and safety hazards.

AMGAS’ SCOR process provides multiple avenues for treating, storing, recovering or transporting sour crude oil. The process fulfills the sustainability requirements of the triple bottom line in that it protects people, environment and investment.

“We have been handling and treating H2S in Canada for years. With sour crude oil now being produced in the Middle East we need to use our expertise and capabilities to handle H2S in ways that simultaneously protect people, their commercial interests and the planet,” says Sheldon McKee, Director of Business and Product Development at AMGAS. “The SCOR process is truly a sustainable solution.”

The SCOR process integrates processes, service and equipment with dependable technological innovations that meet AMGAS’s exacting standards. It is a cost effective way to manage risks to polluting emissions and other contaminations in sour oil and gas. To ensure the highest level of service AMGAS has partnered with Rutledge E&P Pte Ltd. that provides services for drilling and exploration. Rutledge is based in Singapore and has operations throughout the Middle East.   

“Our goal is to take the best practices established over the years in Canada and make them a global standard,” says McKee. “It is a win-win situation for everyone. Producers save money and time and there is protection for people and the environment.”

The SCOR process allows recovery opportunities for extended well tests, which improve well/zone evaluation and drilling plans. Extended well tests are now possible because of the elimination of burning crude and the consequences associated with it. Recovered sour crude oil is loaded, transported and treated safely in the SCOR Transport TankTM allowing commercial recovery of the oil. This also allows for extended testing parameters due to the cost savings of recovered crude oil.

Press Release: AMGAS’ H2S Service Cuts Downtime in the Oil Sands

AMGAS’ H2S Service Cuts Downtime in the Oil Sands

Industry Demands Zero H2S Emissions during Fluid Handling and Transportation Operations

Calgary, AB (July 2012) – Downtime is unacceptable for Oil and Gas companies operating in the Alberta oil sands. Variable H2S conditions in fluid handling and transportation operations are a significant cause of downtime in the industry. AMGAS Services Inc. (AMGAS) provides proactive full service treatment that ensures complete H2S emission control with no downtime.

“We know that variable H2S conditions exist throughout the oil sands and downtimes to test levels are expensive,” says January McKee, President of AMGAS. “We recognize the importance of proactively treating all occurrences of H2S to mitigate risks and guarantee worker safety with no downtime.”

The potential danger of missed production targets and compromised worker safety is frequently the result of a failure to implement H2S best practices. Sour fluids and vapors, left untreated, contribute to escalating costs and increase the downtime needed to ensure safe working conditions.

“We are fortunate to work with producers that are committed to zero H2S emissions in operations and expect their workers to be safe from H2S at all times, says McKee. “It is important for them to have our experts and equipment on site proactively treating H2S conditions.”

At the intersection of service, chemicals and equipment, built from a backbone of dependable innovation, AMGAS treats sour oil and gas at all stages of fluid handling and transportation. AMGAS offers truck loading, fluid treatment and tank venting, which are all serviced by our trained professionals.
