Archrock, Inc. announced the successful completion of a field pilot of Archrock's patent-pending methane capture technology on a United Production Partners (UPP) gathering facility in the Barnett Shale. EnerVest is the contract operator for UPP. The field pilot comes following extensive testing of the technology in a lab setting.

Archrock's methane capture device is a solution for fugitive emissions reductions from compressor operations, including unit blowdowns and compressor packings. The device is a skid mounted solution for natural gas powered and electric motor driven compressor packages for both existing compression facilities as well as greenfield locations.
