行业文章 The Defining Series: Well Testing Fundamentals
Well and formation tests, which entail taking measurements while flowing fluids from the reservoir, are conducted at all stages in the life of oil and gas fields.
Zero-Flaring Well Test and Cleanup
Achieve flare-free operations using fit-for-purpose technologies and techniques
Emissions Reduction
Eliminates flaring-related emissions via zero-flaring solutions
Decarbonize Your Operations
Zero-flaring solutions are part of our Transition Technologies portfolio to eliminate the emissions that are normally related to flaring by leveraging an integrated approach using fit-for-purpose technologies and techniques.

Reduced-emissions well testing technologies and techniques
No matter your facilities limitations, we have reduced-emissions well testing and cleanup technologies and techniques to optimize your operations. In cases where oil flaring cannot be avoided, technologies such as the EverGreen minimal environmental impact well effluent burner deliver 99.84% peak combustion efficiency (99.5% average combustion efficiency) for the clean disposal of well effluent―both onshore and offshore.
The EverGreen burner is the industry's only DNV–verified burner for environmental performance, efficiently disposing of well effluent. No matter the type of oil or environment, the EverGreen burner performs fallout-free, smokeless combustion of the liquid hydrocarbons produced during well testing and cleanup.
