Install Pressurized Storage of Condensate
Summary
The document outlines a Partner Reported Opportunity (PRO) to install pressurized storage tanks for condensate, preventing methane from flashing into the atmosphere when condensate is transferred from high-pressure pipelines to atmospheric tanks. This practice allows for the economic recovery of condensate and associated gases. A partner reported that installing four pressurized tanks saved 27,992 thousand cubic feet of methane annually, with a single 400-barrel tank saving 7,000 thousand cubic feet per year. The primary benefit is the reduction of VOC and HAP emissions, with investment costs reported at $37,500 in 1998 and a payback period of two years through recovered methane revenue.
Key insights
- In 1998, the investment cost including installation was $37,500, with annual operating costs estimated at $2,500 for one operator working 100 hours per year; the cost was offset by methane recovery revenue within two years.
