These emissions and losses are normally due to a lack of pipeline infrastructure in the area of oil production. Newpoint has been working on how to economically transport these valuable gas streams to market with DPNG™.

Emissions from tanks have received considerable media attention. This problem is often viewed as just another cost to producers, which makes many reluctant to address it. Newpoint and Flash Gas, LLC have worked together to develop a new approach to liquid hydrocarbon processing. Instead of routing liquid hydrocarbons from the production separator to low pressure equipment that requires a vapor recovery unit to capture the vapors, Newpoint developed Compact Fractionation Units (CFUs) from the ground up. These units take the raw liquid hydrocarbon stream and produce more stabilized oil, Y-grade NGLs and natural gas at pressures above 100 psig, eliminating much of the tank vapor problem while improving oil production and creating a new, high value stream of NGLs.
