Profoundly simple well site methane elimination
Kathairos is leading North American oil and gas producers on the path to eliminate pneumatic venting on more than 600,000 remote well sites. Reliable, economical methane mitigation is here, and the time to act is now.
Enormous challenge. powerful solution.
Methane venting is the most pressing emissions issue facing the oil and gas industry. Producers require a technology that can effectively solve the problem at the speed and scale necessary to meet regulatory deadlines.
"An innovative yet simple solution to completely eliminate methane emissions on pneumatic controllers and significantly reduce maintenance of that process."
Production Manager, Northeast Natural Energy
The backbone of our technology: liquid nitrogen
- Powered exclusively by thermodynamics
- inert off-grid power source
- NO maintenance or moving parts
- empirical, accurate abatement data
“Without question, this is the best solution to eliminate methane emissions from pneumatic pumps.”
Transformational fuel-switching technology
The Kathairos system stores liquid nitrogen in a standalone cryogenic tank and vaporizes it into clean, dry, inert nitrogen gas to actuate well site pneumatics at exactly the volume and pressure required.
our TechnologyCross-continental coverage
Kathairos’ North America-wide liquid nitrogen distribution network pairs our extensive field personnel and vehicle fleet with a wide array of air separation units and localized storage systems. The result: trusted remote operations and ample, affordable nitrogen supply.
Our Service NetworkMethane mitigation for every size of site
Versatile, adaptable, sustainable – anywhere methane gas is being used as a high-pressure fuel source, the Kathairos solution provides the ideal off-grid powerdrive replacement system.
OPERATING APPLICATIONSNo capital outlay, no equipment burden
Thanks to our flexible monthly tank rental and refill model, adopting the Kathairos solution requires no capital investment or asset ownership, and no ongoing service requirements or replacement costs.
THE Economics
Empirical decarbonization data, not estimates
Kathairos' closed system uses the nitrogen volume consumed to accurately calculate abated emissions – an empirical data set that informs methane intensity, tax exposure, carbon credits, ESG reports, and certifiable sustainability progress.
