Flareless flowback net zero carbon capture
Conventional oil and gas well completion operations typically result in venting methane through flaring, wasting marketable commodity and releasing carbon emissions to the atmosphere. TARA’s advanced flareless flowback technology reduces waste and emissions from well completions, while saving money and skyrocketing ROI for our clients. This new approach to production well operations uses a combination of pressure vessels and state-of-the-art flaring reduction solutions to recover solution gas from the bottom of the well, eliminating the need for flaring.
The captured solution gas is then combusted with natural gas to produce electricity, lowering the overall carbon intensity of the power plant. In addition, excess hydrogen can be stored for future use in liquefaction and other applications. TARA is the leading provider of this technology, with over a dozen operating sites.

The technology can also be used in industrial applications Click here , such as steel and cement plants, petro/chemical facilities, coal or natural gas power plants, and can even capture CO2 directly from the air. In some cases, this could create negative emissions, because the CO2 would be removed from the air rather than emitted to it.
CCS is an essential technology for global decarbonization efforts. It can be utilized to reduce hard-to-abate sectors, as well as provide the necessary flexibility for low and zero carbon electricity systems to succeed.
Moreover, carbon capture and storage is critical to the successful integration of variable renewable energy (VRE) resources into the grid. The integration of VREs will result in frequent ramping of electricity generators, which is challenging for traditional fossil fuel power plants with limited load-following capabilities. However, CCS can help mitigate this challenge by capturing the CO2 generated during the ramping process and storing it underground.
As the world moves closer to a 1.5°C warming limit, there is increasing focus on reducing carbon intensity across all business areas. This includes reducing scope 3 emissions from supply chain activities, focusing on high-impact opportunities that will have the greatest impact, and investing in innovation.
To support its customers’ carbon-neutral goals, Chevron is pursuing several initiatives. These include promoting and supporting policies that promote transparency of emissions reporting, participating in multiple registries and exchanges, as well as conducting a series of pilot programs designed to grow the supply of offsets efficiently and cost-effectively.
Ultimately, it will take a collective effort to achieve a global goal of net zero. We are committed to working with our suppliers and partners to accelerate the industry’s progress towards this goal. For example, we have adopted the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard, which provides guidance on setting science-based net-zero targets and offers an SME Pathway to make it more accessible for smaller organisations. The standard requires companies to set both near-term, science-based targets by 2030 and long-term goals that align with a 1.5°C pathway. We are also working with the global industry to promote a common definition of net-zero and ensure that it is broadly applied and understood.
