Random Example Of Authorization Request For On-Site Units To Reduce Flaring; De-Ethanize Bakken Oil -- December 15, 2014

This is an example of what an operator needs to do to comply with new flaring rules. From file #26737:

Enerplus Resources requests authorization to add temporary NGL units to reduce flaring operations and comply with NDIC gas capture requirements in areas where pipeline tie-in and/or capacity is lacking. The units would remain onsite for approximately 6 to 12 months, or until the pipeline has been constructed to the locations. Each unit, contained within a 40' x 80' area, comprises a large-volume mobile refrigeration unit, large-volume de-ethanizer, natural gas-powered 100kW-250kW generator, 18,000 gallon NGL storage tank, and a natural gas compressor.

One 40' x 80' NGL unit would be set, on skids.

Photographs of the unit is available at the file. This is what the 18,000 gallon NGL tank looks like; gonna see a lot of these sprout up in the Bakken.
