Has anyone here ever had to suit up to respond to an H2S incident?

Few times for incidents, many times in a maintenance situation.

[legendboy]

Let me guess: Bitfury?

No. Custom design. Doesn't really matter though tbh. I've seen a lot of different designs and they all end up being the same in many ways.

Biggest variations in designs you'd see are what happens when it rains or snows or sand storms (or immersion / air cooled).

These guys seem to have a plan: https://gam.ai/

Yeah! There are many more as well, or at least it has become more palatable since BTC ran to the $30k+ range.

Looking for some help: the project manager for the turbine side is struggling to locate the following:

• (4) NACE Compliant Parker Style Filters
• (1) Coalescing Filter
• (1) Sweetening can for pop tank vapours

Companies that have already been contacted for the parker filters and coalescing filters:

• PCF Micron Filtration
• Propak
• CBVL Robotics
• JL Filtration
• CPS Filtration
• JCI Group
• Kirby Controls
• CEG CreamCo

Companies that have already been contacted for the sweetening can:

• AM-Gas
• Reef Oilfield
• International Oilfield Brokers

Did you contact the correct JCI? There's like 30 of them and I've had procurement people fuck that up, royally.
I think they guy I've dealt with there is named Voytek or something along those lines.

I don't think I can help with anything else in there.
Would something like a "Trace Erase" work for pop tank vapour?

I passed on the message. Thank you sir.

For sweetening pots on tanks I have used http://www.odourcontrolsystem.com/ with just a drum of solid chemical off the tank (storage) vents.

Jordan at GCES likely has these depending on your specs. I'll PM you contact info.

Thanks. Procurement guy came back and said it looks like that is the system we will end up using. Much appreciated.

PM'd in response, and much appreciated.

Not sure if this impacts @themack89 but it looks like AUC has shut down a couple of these operations. I get where the homeowners are coming from, but on the flipside getting anything approved in this province that isn't the usual is a nightmare. I've talked to a couple of companies that want to do something different and small scale and they both chose just over the line in Saskatchewan as it is way simpler as far as permitting etc.

The noise was insane was it not? Go set it up in the middle of nowhere and will people complain?

MAGA Energy lol

I wonder if they have cool hats

I think they do. I was chatting with a guy who met with them recently. Couldn't believe the name so he showed me the card haha.

Hilarious. But hey if you are privately funded who cares.

Hi guys, just a brief update.

We energized. It works and it's minting coins.
Unfortunately we can't ramp up to 100% yet because their gas fell off, so we are stuck throttling at 50% plus minus.
However, O&G co is going to tie-in another pad that is flaring too much, so we will have more gas than we need.
We did deal with a noise complaint, it's actually the exhaust fans that are the loudest because the lower frequencies carry farther.
The turbines w/ the mufflers on them, you can't really hear them at all once you get as far as the lease entrance.
We built a really dense hay-bale wall and the complaints have since ceased.

Note: if anyone is ever going to do this, a small thing but a huge thing is to make sure you have someone who lives in the area that can actually service the deployment. Nearest guy we could find who has the skills and the willingness is an hour away, plus he's got a FT job.

Anyways, I am pretty happy. We are still in what we call the "testing" phase because we haven't fully loaded the turbines yet.
Will report back when that happens.

What volume of gas are you using per day? Pretty neat project. Agree the small turning generators are reasonably quiet, and at distance it is the kind of sound that fades into the background well.

[adamc]

I love this shit, good for you guys for getting up and running.

Very curious to hear whatever details you can share RE: agreements with the well owners, gas volumes, expected ROI, really anything to do with the economics of this stuff. Not trying to get into it myself, I just think it's a great way to use gas that otherwise would have been flared off.

Wonder how this may impact themack's operations. AUC states ignorance to the rules is no excuse.
