​PIONEER ENERGY

Oil Production Technology 

Where Energy Efficiency Begins

Pioneer Energy is a designer and original equipment manufacturer of innovative technologies that enable our upstream and midstream customers to maximize their hydrocarbon production and value while often also reducing emissions.

 

Our cloud-enabled technologies increase hydrocarbon revenues, reduce field operations expenses, and provide resilience to changing regulations.

 

Our innovative, proprietary hydrocarbon processing systems more efficiently process wellhead fluids, stabilize crude oil to meet changing GOR and RVP requirements, and condition gas streams for in-field use. Pioneer offers systems to capture or eliminate emissions sources and turn otherwise wasted or flared gas and liquid streams into revenue-generating products.

 

Our systems are skid or trailer mounted, modular, autonomous units that are remotely monitored and controlled. They provide oil producers with tremendous flexibility in equipment deployment and redeployment and superior uptime, while minimizing CAPEX and OPEX requirements.

Areas of Expertise

ZERO EMISSION OIL PRODUCTION FACILITIES 

TANKLESS OIL PRODUCTION:

The Emission Control Treater™ (ECT™) is a first-of-its-kind zero emission production system that processes wellhead fluid at the pad, replacing traditional surface processing infrastructure. It increases crude volume production, dramatically reduces wellpad emissions, eliminates flaring, and decreases pad footprint.

MODULAR GAS PLANTS
MECHANICAL REFRIGERATION UNIT (MRU) GAS PROCESSING SYSTEMS:

The Flarecatcher™ is Pioneer's flagship modular gas processing plant solution. These mechanical refrigeration (MRU) based systems process rich gas streams at well sites and central processing facilities. Dehydrating and then cooling the gas to between -5C and -70C (depending upon the application), the systems remove y-grade natural gas liquids (NGLs), which can be trucked to market or further processed in one of Pioneer's fractionation systems. The remaining gas can be conditioned to meet market or use requirements, including for pipeline injection, onsite power generation, conversion to CNG or LNG, or fed into a GTL process. The process trains are scaled for any desired flowrate.

FIELD GAS CONDITIONING
FOR DRILLING RIGS, COMPRESSORS, GENSETS & TURBINES:

The Pegasus Mini™ field gas conditioner is a trailer-mounted processing system which conditions associated gas for use as fuel in drilling rigs, compressors, gensets and turbines. The system comes in HP and LP configurations. Both are compact and highly mobile and produce high quality fuel gas which can reduce field dependence on diesel fuel. The result is fuel cost savings and emissions reduction. There are several different standard units available having capacities between 350 and 1.5 MMscfd.

MODULAR NGL FRACTIONATION
ON SPEC LPG CONDENSATE PROPANE HD5:

Fractionators are used to separate mixed liquid hydrocarbons, upconverting low value streams into higher value products. Applications include the extraction from NGLs of LPG, on-spec condensate, individual purity products such as commercial propane and commercial butane, and the conditioning of off-spec NGLs to allow them to meet market requirements. Certain fractionators, including Pioneer Energy's Recycling ECT ® can also be used for hydrocarbon miscible EOR projects to reduce injectant operating costs. Pioneer Energy’s line of fractionation systems are available in a variety of capacities and can be used either in conjunction with our other equipment or deployed as stand-alone modules.

EMISSION CONTROL VALVES
SOLAR ELECTRIC VALVE CONTROLLER SYSTEMS:

The Emission Control Valve (EC Valve) is a solar and battery powered electric valve controller system for oilfield applications. It is intended to replace process gas or nitrogen actuator systems. The system is available in one to three valve configurations for separator dump valves and choke valves for well control. The EC Valve helps to ensure regulatory compliance and reduces site emissions. 

KNOCKOUTS, SEPARATORS & PRESSURE VESSELS

VESSEL FABRICATION:

Knockouts, separators, and other pressure vessels are also being designed and manufacturered by Pioneer Energy. These can be used for the removal of free liquids from gas streams prior to processing and the separatation of water from condensed hydrocarbon streams. We can also design and manufacture custom pressure vessels to meet your unique requirements.

Pioneer Energy is an accredited ASME facility with certification stamp U. We are also certified to NBIC and maintain an R endorsement.

SOURCING
OF 3RD PARTY EQUIPMENT:

3rd Party Equipment can also be sourced by Pioneer Energy to complement our other systems.  Examples include equipment to remove H2S, CO2, N2, and other contaminants, as well as product storage tanks, gas compressors, and natural gas generators. Other examples include Last Mile Solutions such as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), and Gas to Liquids (GTL) systems. Pioneer Energy works with trusted 3rd party equipment providers in order to provide our customers with a complete solution to their gas processing needs.
