Bakken Production Optimization Program

'As the oil and gas industry faces the final increment in a series of regulatory gas capture rules, many wellsite gas capture technologies are being reevaluated and new technologies are being considered. One such new technology/application is the use of mobile data centers located on wellsites as con...'

'The use of centralized production facilities has the potential to provide some economy-of-scale benefit over the more common well site-based facilities. This is especially true in shale oil production when rapid production decline curves make matching production rate with facilities capacity challen...'

'A detailed study was conducted to evaluate the relative impact different equipment and operations have on air pollutants and associated permitting requirements on well sites. Emissions of criteria pollutants from wellsite equipment were estimated using the North Dakota Department of Environmental Qu...'

'This document presents high-level information regarding the purpose and topics of research for the Bakken Production Optimization Program (BPOP). BPOP is a partnership between the State of North Dakota through the North Dakota Industrial Commission Oil & Gas Research Program (NDIC OGRP) and industry...'

'Bakken oil tank batteries typically operate without a purge gas sweep in the headspace above the oil. Instead, the tanks are maintained under a slight positive pressure from gas flashed from the oil while filling, but the tanks develop a vacuum when they are emptied. To limit negative pressure, air ...'
