Introduction to Technology

•  Technical & Commercial Solution

– Don't separate NGLs. Convert NGLs to CH4

– Single reactor, catalytic process

– Much lower capital & operating costs

– Scalable to smaller wells (50 - 500 mcfd)

– Highly mobile and can easily be moved from well site to well site

Technology Validation •  Proof-of-Concept Reactor

Demonstrated on 2 Wells –  70% CH4/25% HC → 87% CH4

–  78% CH4/17% HC → 93% CH4

•  1 MW Pilot Scale Reactor –  Deployed in 2015 –  300 mcfd
