Well Power is
interested in curbing the growing concerns caused by gas flaring, a significant
problem in the US. It has been estimated that the amount of gas flared within
the US has doubled over the past decade and a half. Furthermore, the problem of
gas flaring in states like Texas, North Dakota and Wyoming now accounts for
over half of the total gas flared in the US and results in losses to the tune
of billions of dollars. This arena is an excellent area of opportunity for Well
Power, a development stage company that is looking to offer up the
Micro-Refinery Unit (MRU) it has licensed from the Canadian company, ME
Resource Corp., as a solution.
Well Power has a
five-year licensing agreement with ME Resource, which designs and develops
mobile and scalable MRUs that consumers—specifically, oil and gas companies—can
deploy near wellheads in order to turn raw natural gas into liquid fuels and
clean power. Well Power and ME Resource continue to prove out the
Micro-Refinery Unit and intend to deploy the first test unit later this year.
With its long-term
licensing agreement in place, Well Power has begun to make plans to supply the
MRUs throughout Texas. Its exclusive license also gives it the right of first
refusal should ME Resource wish to supply the MRUs to other territories within
the United States.
Until clean energy
replaces dirty fossil fuels, Well Power has thrown its hat in the ring for
finding the best practices to curb gas flaring. Despite the fact that flaring
causes pollution, creates health issues, and is clearly wasteful, it is pure
economics that is currently preventing oil and gas companies from capturing and
using wasted gas instead of flaring it. These companies simply find it more
cost-effective to burn off the gas rather than to build the infrastructure to
get it to market. Many of their wells are also in remote areas and building
pipelines to tie into these wells is quite costly.
To curb some of the
concerns caused by gas flaring, states like North Dakota are looking to
implement a tax–royalty to companies that are able to use green initiatives to
reduce the amount of gas being flared and to instead collect them for use as
ammonia fertilizer, petrochemicals and compressed natural gas as well as for
electricity generation. Well Power is well positioned to offer a way to
transform flared gas into energy. It also recently announced that it would
re-negotiate its license with ME Resource Corp. so as to expand its
distribution route to Wyoming, Colorado, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and New
Mexico.
