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.
休斯頓,2024年12月30日 – Flotek工業公司(「Flotek」或「公司」)(紐交所:FTK)今天提供了關於環保母基(「EPA」)發佈的火焰監測法規的更新。2024年12月20日,EPA發佈了對其新源性能標準和現有源排放指南的提議修正,針對2024年5月8日發佈的WTI原油和天然氣源類別(「OOOOb」)規則,以監測火焰的淨熱值(「NHV」),以確保甲烷排放最小化。雖然提議的修正針對測試的複雜性解決了許多行業關注的問題,但它們並未實質性改變公司對監測服務潛在可解決市場的展望,包括將受到合規的設施範圍。
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的提議修正對燃燒操作的排氣NHV連續監測要求進行了細微的技術改動,擴大了一些新測試要求的豁免,同時限制了「通常豁免」於合規測試的火焰數量。提議的修正將在聯邦公報發佈後接受45天的公衆意見。雖然公司認爲法規應該允許行業自信地推進合規測試,但受影響的公司仍面臨有限的技術、人員和分析資源以進行這些具有挑戰性的測量。
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.
正如之前宣佈的,2024年7月12日,EPA通知公司,其JP3系統已被指定爲初步火焰法規的批准測量技術。公司的最先進光學儀器,旨在精確測量火焰氣體中的NHV,是第一個被批准爲初步法規下的替代方法。
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批准後,公司數據分析部門開始爲其客戶提供火焰監測服務,利用其專有的JP3 VeraCal火焰監測分析儀。由於VeraCal分析儀自獲得批准以來已進行多次合規測試,因此數據分析部門在2024年第二季度的收入較第三季度增長了30%,部分原因是新的火焰監測服務。Flotek已投資於一系列分析資產,以幫助解決行業資源限制,同時簡化合規。
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,首席執行官,表示:「經過對提議修正案的認真評估,我們繼續相信,火焰監測法規爲我們的數據分析部門和整體業務提供了顯著積極的機會。我們有信心能夠爲我們的客戶及油氣行業提供一種優秀的經過驗證的技術,利用自主實時測量來監測火焰並減少排放。我們預計我們的數據分析部門將在2025年經歷顯著增長,利用我們的『VeraCal分析儀』,該設備使我們的客戶能夠遵守更新後的火焰監測法規。在Flotek,我們的策略仍然專注於在化學與實時數據解決方案的交匯處提供差異化技術。」
