Stuff About Energy Production Kimray

Energy companies are setting aggressive goals to lower the emissions of natural gas into the atmosphere at their wellsites. But figuring out how to do this is very challenging.

A typical producer has many different types of valves and controllers designed by many different companies, and now they must figure out whether these products emit, and if so, how much.

Recently an energy consultant reached out to us from Canada. He works for a company that helps producers determine their emissions on their sites. He has a huge Excel spreadsheet of products that he doesn't know anything about, and he needs to know how the EPA views these products.

In this ep, Jordan walks through how we answer this question for Kimray pneumatic products.
