Natural Gas Pipeline Evacuation
Natural gas operators encounter numerous challenges in ensuring that their projects minimize community disruption and prioritize environmental protection through Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices. The natural gas industry is under growing scrutiny and demand from diverse regulatory bodies to curtail methane emissions. Key focal points include safety, operational efficiency, cost considerations, and strategic implementation optimization. The adoption of cross compression stands out as a solution to mitigate methane releases typically associated with venting and/or blowdowns into the atmosphere during pipeline operations.
The GoVAC® system eliminates the need to vent or flare in these segments of the natural gas value chain:
- Midstream pipelines
- Transmission compressor stations
- Transmission pipelines
- Distribution pipelines
Examples of specific applications include:
- Main pipeline replacement projects
- Commissioning/decommissioning pipelines
- General repairs/maintenance (residential or remote areas)
- Pipeline inspection and integrity management
- Natural gas storage facilities
- Pressurizing new pipe
- Compressor station repair and maintenance
- Pigging operations
- Unplanned rapid response
Digitized pipeline evacuation for accurate reporting.
Our GoVAC® system provides environmental impact reports that contain accurate project results. The advantage of our digitized system is that it eliminates the possibility of a user making a mistake in the manual process of reading gauges and taking notes on paper in order to record the amount of natural gas captured.
Our data integrity tools ensure traceability, transparency, and proven compliance at scale.
We make natural gas pipeline evacuation safe and easy for you.
Our GoVAC® system is fully automated with a control system that is based on state-of-the-art telemetry and instrumentation including temperature and pressure sensors, electronic valves, and flow meters that measure how much natural gas is being captured and recovered during a pipeline evacuation project. This provides remote monitoring for enhanced safety during live projects as well operational metrics that help operators keep projects on schedule and under budget.
