Profitable Use of Vented Emissions in Oil & Gas Production Howard Malm REM Technology Inc. Greg Brown PIC/Spartan Andrea Lamond Encana Thanks goes to the Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation (CCEMC) for financial support

Profitable Use of Vented Emissions in Oil & Gas Production Replacement of Natural Gas Engine Fuel with Vented Hydro-Carbon Gases Using SlipStream® Part 1 – SlipStream® Technology and Field Results Howard Malm REM Technology Inc. Part 2 – Experience and Results with SlipStream Andrea Lamond Encana SlipStream® is a registered trademark; patents and patents pending in USA, Australia and Canada

SlipStream® Technology and Field Results Outline – Part 1 Vent Gas Sources Benefits of Combusting Vented Gas in Engines SlipStream Technology Results

SlipStream® Technology and Field Results Vent Gas Sources Instrument gas Actuators – valves, regulators Variable Transducers Pumps Pulsed; on/off Membrane driers Steady Typical total system (engine-compressor unit) vents 4 to 30 m3/h (140 to 1000 scf/h)

SlipStream® Technology and Field Results Vent Gas Sources Compressor packing ReCip packing glands Steady Mixed with lubrication oil Liquid storage tanks Oil storage Scrubber dump collection Separator dump collection Highly Variable (heating/cooling effects) Other Dehydrators Centrifugal compressor wet seals 0.8 to 4.2 m3/h (29 to 147 scf/h) 4 cylinders 0 to 20 m3/h (0 to 700 scf/h)

SlipStream® Technology and Field Results Benefits of combusting vented gas in natural gas engines Fuel replacement One typical 1000 HP (750 kW) engine uses ≈180 kg/h (260 m3/h) of NG fuel Vented gas available from 4 to 30 m3/h At $3.50/GJ the value = $4300 to $32,000 /y Methane destruction; GHG reduction Typical methane % = 95% 21 times more potent than CO2 At $15/t, the value = $7900 to $52,000 /y VOC destruction > 99% BTEX destruction Annual Fuel saving + Carbon credits = $12,200 to $84,000

SlipStream® Technology and Field Results Can use multiple vent sources Does not require gas compression Measures vent gas flows and provides totals Can provide up to 50% of engine fuel needs Minimal pressure on vent gas source(s) No effects on engine up-time Shutoff Valve Demister Flow Meter Control Valve Air Intake Filter Engine Relief Devices Vent gases Vent For meter calibration Pressure Sensor HV HVs Hand Valve (HV)

SlipStream® Technology and Field Results Dual engine arrangement Vent gas destruction time increased Allows packing vent collection from units pressurized, but not running

SlipStream® Technology and Field Results Safe Has undergone numerous Process Hazards Reviews Reliable Does not affect engine operation Adaptable Variable flow Variable gas heat content Needs electronic engine air-fuel control Stoichiometric – OEM, third party, REMVue Lean – OEM, third party, REMVue Needs minimal engine scavenging Carbureted engines ideal Not suitable for 2 cycle stroke engines Certain gases are unsuitable H2S < 1%

SlipStream® Technology and Field Results Field results are averages/site for > 60 sites Vent Source Average Flow kg/h Methane % Instrument Gas 8.1 95 Compressor Packing 2.7 Liquids Tank 7.3 30 to 50% CO2(e)t/h CO2(e) t/y 0.16 1372 0.05 457 0.06 524 Car-year Equivalent* 275 91 105 * 1 Car-year ≈ 5 t Totals Typically 20 to 40% non-methane, non-ethane volatile organic compounds (VOC) Annual Fuel Replacement CO2(e) t/y Car-year Equivalent* > $500,000 > 55,000 > 11,000

SlipStream® Technology and Field Results Value Vent Source Average Flow kg/h Annual fuel replacement Instrument Gas 8.1 $12,914 Compressor Packing 2.7 $4,304 Liquids Tank 7.3 $11,715 Annual CO2(e) credits $20,574 $6,857 $7,858 Total $33,488 $11,161 $19,573 Fuel Value = $3.50 / GJ CO2(e) credit = $15 / tonne

Profitable Use of Vented Emissions in Oil & Gas Production Part 2 – Experience and Results with SlipStream® Andrea Lamond Encana

Experience and Results with SlipStream® Outline – Part 2 Introduction to Encana Corporation Encana Scope of Operation Expected Benefits of SlipStream® Adopting the Technology Installing and Commissioning Results

Experience and Results with SlipStream® Introduction to Encana Corporation Leading North American energy producer focused on growing its strong portfolio of resource plays producing natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids Encana’s Environment Policy Adopt technically sound, economically practicable measures to mitigate environmental impacts Reduce emission intensity and increase energy efficiency of our operations Continual improvement of environmental programs Encana’s Environmental Innovation Fund (EIF) Internal investments in projects that economically improve environmental performance of our operations External venture capital investments in start-up technology companies To learn more on the EIF go to: http://www.encana.com/environment/innovation-fund/

Experience and Results with SlipStream® Encana Scope of Operation SlipStream® Vent Gas Capture Project Climate Change Emissions Management Corporation (CCEMC) grant $2.4 million AB based, not-for-profit organization with mandate to reduce GHG emissions by implementing clean technology CCEMC announces two expressions of interest every year 52 site roll-out across Clearwater Business Unit (Clearwater South) 25 Caterpillar 3512 engines 27 Waukesha H24 engines Calgary Edmonton

Experience and Results with SlipStream® Expected Benefits of SlipStream® Off-grid Sites Compressors operated remotely, electricity not available Reduce methane (CH4) venting from pneumatic devices Reroute CH4 to compressor engine to be used as fuel Fuel gas savings estimate of $550,000 annually upon full roll-out* Typical compressor building in the Clearwater Business Unit *Based on expected AECO 2013 natural gas prices

Experience and Results with SlipStream® Expected Benefits of SlipStream® Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Objectives Capture and combustion achieves direct reduction of GHG emissions CH4 global warming potential 21 times that of CO2 Project eligible to generate GHG credits in Alberta Current value ≈ $15/tonne of reduced CO2(e) Encana personnel were lead authors for government-approved GHG Quantification Protocol for Vent Gas Capture Projects in 2008-2009

Experience and Results with SlipStream® Adopting the Technology Proof of Economical and Environmental Benefits Installed 2 pilots in 2011 1 Cat 3512 engine and 1 Waukesha H24 engine Instrumentation & Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Modifications Embed REMVue logic into existing PLC Easier operational maintenance Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) conducted Examination of process/operation to identify and evaluate risks Proposed outcomes and solutions to mitigate risks

Experience and Results with SlipStream® Installing and Commissioning Valve train had too much pressure drop Large amount of back pressure Modified valve train piping Installation process First few installs took ≈ 1-2 days Later installs, 2 mechanical installations per day SlipStream® valve train redirects previously vented gas into engine’s air intake as fuel Reliability Designed to be reversible If SlipStream® fails, back to original venting system SCADA system alerts through notification email ≈ 48 hours to check issue

Experience and Results with SlipStream® Caterpillar 3512LE - air intake and turbo chargers (rear view) Results Current projected savings (based on 17 units commissioned in 2012) 1,479 e3m3 (52 MMscf) fuel gas annually 20,378 tonnes (22,476 tons) CO2(e) emission reductions annually Estimated savings after full roll-out (2013) 52 units total $550,000 fuel savings per year* 67,355 tonnes (74,261 tons) of CO2(e) reduction per year $1million in carbon credits per year Future plans Install remaining 27 Waukesha H24 units in 2013 SlipStream® gas injection point to engine *Based on expected AECO 2013 natural gas prices
