Protect Environment from Orphaned Wells Methane Emissions

EmissionBox + ServiceNow Integration

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Methane is one of the most significant contributors to climate change, is 80-100 times more potent than CO2. With 1.3M active production sites and over 3.5M abandoned oil & gas wells in the USA, reducing emissions has become a significant initiative.

2021 Infrastructure Bill, especially the Orphaned Well Program, is aimed to remediate it. With a $4.2B allocated budget, federal and state agencies and service and technology companies are looking for a way to execute it.

With 3.5M wells spread across the US states, it is clear that Orphaned Well Program execution has a risk of being costly and slow due to a sheer number of people in the field, disconnect across agencies, ad-hoc processes, and lack of access to reliable shared data.

You need to have a common system that will orchestrate all process steps and people with workflows, collect all field and process data, integrate all external systems, and enable field workers with mobility and digital tools.

CHALLENGES

The orphaned well program is new with vague guidelines but needs expedited execution
Implementing 3M+ wells will require efficient coordination of federal and state agencies, vendors, systems, and thousands of field personnel
Fragmented and unreliable data
Manual and ad-hoc processes
Varying efficiency of field specialists

BUSINESS VALUE

Dramatically cut time to execution
Safer, more efficient, and professional field operations
Efficient process with predictable results
Improved speed and scale
Flexibility to support changing regulations and state-specific requirements
Reliable data and reporting
Dramatically reduced costs of execution

AUTOMATE PROCESSES, CONSOLIDATE DATA, AND DIGITIZE OPERATIONS WITH EMISSIONBOX

EmissionBox (former Ekatra) Climate and Emissions Action Application can get you up to speed in a short time and help you run efficient and reliable operations. It allows you to standardize and replicate processes to scale to the magnitude needed to cover the scope of the Orphaned Wells Program and beyond.
Built in partnership with ServiceNow and utilizing the power of the Now Platform, EmissionBox solution can achieve scale and agility that no other product can.

One system will hold all wells inventory, emission data, maintenance records, survey and inspection data, remediation activities, materials, timelines, etc. You will be able to collect, consolidate, securely store, analyze and report data from various emission sensors (such as EmissionBox ‘s methane leak sensors), siloed databases, and SCADA systems to comply with regulations.

Moreover, field workers will be able to access and enter data on their mobile devices, which will produce dramatic productivity gains.

IMPORTANCE OF COLLECTED DATA

No data is helpful by itself. It drives change and action. EmissionBox uses data to run automated workflows that orchestrate processes to achieve your business results. For the Orphaned Wells Program, the processes include Planning, Inventorying, Inspection, Emission Monitoring, Remediation, and Plugging. These processes involve many people in the field, office, and external systems. Workflow automation allows removing unpredictability to achieve reliable results. EmissionBox will take care of tasks, instructions, forms, SLAs, approvals, and many more decisions that, if left ad-hoc, will create chaos and costs.

SOLUTIONS

Consolidate data, people, and action in a Single Platform
Digitize and orchestrate field operations
Create a single standard for the execution and reporting
Connected mobile field workers
Integrate emission and other sensors

OUTCOMES

Achieve measurable success quicker and cover more ground with fewer resources
Set the standard on how to execute on climate change
Achieve ESG excellence
