Demonstration of Calscan’s Zero-Emissions Electric Linear Actuators by Engaging Small to Medium-Sized Producers

This initiative is part of the Methane Consortium Program

Executive Summary

PTAC has received support from Alberta Environment and Parks to collaborate on the formation of consortia with industry to reduce emissions of methane and promote innovation in reduction mechanisms within the Alberta oil and gas sector. As part of PTAC’s Methane Consortia Program (MCP), Calscan has engaged smaller producers in demonstrating their new linear electric actuator technology.

It has been more challenging to secure trials with junior and intermediate producers due to large capital costs. Calscan has utilized the MCP funding to:

  • Create a meaningful discount in prices to early adopters
  • Achieve critical runtime under a wide range of configurations
  • Gain further technical and operational feedback from producers to refine its product.

Through the MCP program, Calscan has expanded Alberta’s innovation ecosystem by connecting junior/intermediate oil and gas companies with itself and with the broader PTAC ecosystem. The project described in this report was completed in partnership with Advantage Oil and Gas, Jupiter Resources, and Entrada Resources on several sites to date, with plans to complete a few additional installations on a first come, first serve basis. Calscan continues to look for eligible partners/sites and is offering the rebate program to incentivise installation and adoption of their zero emission well control solutions
