Flotek Provides Update On Proposed Amendments To EPA Flare Monitoring Regulations
Flotek Provides Update On Proposed Amendments To EPA Flare Monitoring Regulations
HOUSTON, December 30, 2024 – Flotek Industries, Inc. ("Flotek" or the "Company") (NYSE: FTK) today provided an update regarding flare monitoring regulations issued by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). On December 20, 2024, the EPA issued proposed amendments to its New Source Performance Standards and Emission Guidelines for Existing Sources for the Crude Oil and Natural Gas Source Category ("OOOOb") rules issued on May 8, 2024, with respect to monitoring the Net Heating Value ("NHV") of flares to ensure that methane emissions are minimized. While the proposed amendments address many industry concerns regarding the complexity of the testing, they do not materially change the Company's outlook regarding the potential addressable market for monitoring services including the scope of installations that will be subject to compliance.
休斯顿,2024年12月30日 – Flotek工业公司(“Flotek”或“公司”)(纽交所:FTK)今天提供了关于环保母基(“EPA”)发布的火焰监测法规的更新。2024年12月20日,EPA发布了对其新源性能标准和现有源排放指南的提议修正,针对2024年5月8日发布的WTI原油和天然气源类别(“OOOOb”)规则,以监测火焰的净热值(“NHV”),以确保甲烷排放最小化。虽然提议的修正针对测试的复杂性解决了许多行业关注的问题,但它们并未实质性改变公司对监测服务潜在可解决市场的展望,包括将受到合规的设施范围。
The EPA's proposed amendments make discrete technical changes to the vent gas NHV continuous monitoring requirements for flaring operations expanding some of the exemptions for new testing requirements while limiting the number of flares that were "generally exempted" from compliance testing. The proposed amendments are open for comment for 45 days after publication in the Federal Register. While the Company believes the regulations should allow the industry to confidently move forward with compliance testing, impacted companies continue to face limited technical, staffing, and analytical resources to conduct these challenging measurements.
EPA的提议修正对燃烧操作的排气NHV连续监测要求进行了细微的技术改动,扩大了一些新测试要求的豁免,同时限制了“通常豁免”于合规测试的火焰数量。提议的修正将在联邦公报发布后接受45天的公众意见。虽然公司认为法规应该允许行业自信地推进合规测试,但受影响的公司仍面临有限的技术、人员和分析资源以进行这些具有挑战性的测量。
As previously announced, on July 12, 2024, the EPA notified the Company that its JP3 system had been designated as an approved measurement technology for the initial flare regulations. The Company's state-of-the-art optical instrument, designed for the precise measurement of NHV in flare gases, was the first to be approved as an alternative method under the initial regulations.
正如之前宣布的,2024年7月12日,EPA通知公司,其JP3系统已被指定为初步火焰法规的批准测量技术。公司的最先进光学仪器,旨在精确测量火焰气体中的NHV,是第一个被批准为初步法规下的替代方法。
Following EPA approval, the Company's Data Analytics segment began providing flare monitoring services to its customers utilizing its proprietary JP3 VeraCal flare monitoring analyzer. Third quarter revenues from its Data Analytics segment increased 30% from second quarter 2024 in part due to new flare monitoring services as the VeraCal analyzers have now conducted numerous compliance tests since receiving approval. Flotek has invested in a fleet of analytical assets to help resolve industry resource restrictions while simplifying compliance.
在EPA批准后,公司数据分析部门开始为其客户提供火焰监测服务,利用其专有的JP3 VeraCal火焰监测分析仪。由于VeraCal分析仪自获得批准以来已进行多次合规测试,因此数据分析部门在2024年第二季度的收入较第三季度增长了30%,部分原因是新的火焰监测服务。Flotek已投资于一系列分析资产,以帮助解决行业资源限制,同时简化合规。
Ryan Ezell, Chief Executive Officer, said, "After a diligent assessment of the proposed amendments, we continue to believe that the flare monitoring regulations provide a meaningfully positive opportunity for our Data Analytics segment and overall business. We are confident in our ability to offer our customers, and the oil and gas industry, a superior and approved technology, utilizing autonomous, real-time measurements, to monitor flares and reduce emissions. We expect our Data Analytics segment to experience significant growth in 2025 leveraging off our 'VeraCal analyzer', which allows our customers to comply with the updated flare monitoring regulations. At Flotek, our strategy remains focused on delivering differentiated technologies at the convergence of chemistry and real-time data solutions."
Ryan Ezell,首席执行官,表示:“经过对提议修正案的认真评估,我们继续相信,火焰监测法规为我们的数据分析部门和整体业务提供了显著积极的机会。我们有信心能够为我们的客户及油气行业提供一种优秀的经过验证的技术,利用自主实时测量来监测火焰并减少排放。我们预计我们的数据分析部门将在2025年经历显著增长,利用我们的‘VeraCal分析仪’,该设备使我们的客户能够遵守更新后的火焰监测法规。在Flotek,我们的策略仍然专注于在化学与实时数据解决方案的交汇处提供差异化技术。”
