Emissions Manager

Oil and gas operators in Canada and the United States have to calculate, track and report air emissions under a changing set of regulations. Emissions Manager is Envirosoft's web-based data management and calculation system for that job, designed specifically for the oil and gas industry. Envirosoft also offers consulting services around it, and describes itself on its site as a partner to industry for more than two decades.

What it calculates and reports

The underlying methods come from guidance published by CAPP in Canada and the API in the United States, so results line up with what regulators in both countries expect. The software covers greenhouse gas emissions and their intensities, and criteria air contaminants, at both facility and corporate level. It records metered and unmetered fuel, flare and vent volumes, and it handles operating and analytical data for glycol dehydrators. Stationary spark-ignition engines are covered too, for operators who must stay within the Multi-Sector Air Pollutant Regulation.

Data quality and audit trail

Envirosoft says the platform holds extensive calculations for a large number of jurisdictions and that these have been verified and audited many times. The aim stated on its site is granular emissions data that can be defended during an audit, with reports structured to satisfy regulators and ESG reporting needs. A long-standing client, a mid-sized exploration and production company, uses the system for both operated and non-operated assets and finds online access to uploaded source data useful for spotting trends and anomalies.

Finding where to cut emissions

Because the inventory is organized from business units down to facility and equipment level, users can compare and investigate emissions to find reduction opportunities. The company links this to data-driven decisions, monitoring of environmental performance and, where relevant, opportunities in carbon management.

Consulting for regulatory reporting

Regulatory requirements keep growing while teams stay small. Envirosoft's consultants act as advisers and an extension of the client's team to complete regulatory reporting and meet ESG targets, including help with the air pollutant regulation. The site presents the software and the consulting together as a way to reduce the cost and risk of managing emissions data.
