METHANATORRX UPDATE METHANATORRX UPDATE
Calgary, Alberta – January 16, 2024 – Delta CleanTech Inc. (“Delta” or the “Company”) (CSE:DELT,
FRA: 66C).
Delta is pleased to provide additional information on its new division - MethanatorRX
Technologies Inc. (“MethanatorRX”).
Mr. Jeff Allison, President and CEO, remarked, “MethanatorRx product offer provides a technical
remedy to the challenges confronting the industry in addressing the destruction of methane
emissions linked to wellhead - “Surface Casing Vent Flow Emissions” otherwise know as “SCVFE”
.
Methane emissions originating from wellheads in oil and natural gas production stem from
fissures within the surface casing cement. This issue is prevalent in both newly established and
existing wells, with estimations suggesting that up to 10-20 %1 of all drilled wells encounter SCVFE
problems. In Canada, emission volumes are reportable under provincial regulators mandatory
guidelines.
The reportable standards, particularly in response to the heightened regulatory emphasis on
greenhouse gas emissions (“GHG”), underscores the critical nature of addressing methane
emissions. Methane possesses a global warming potential 27-30 times that of carbon
dioxide2
. Consequently, the aspiration to capture and destruct methane in a fundamentally
secure manner, serves to mitigate the overall greenhouse gas impact associated with oil and gas
well production. This initiative concurrently diminishes the carbon intensity of both oil and
natural gas production.
Up until this point, casing bowl wellhead methane has not been dealt with to the satisfaction3 of
gas production industry or the regulators for the following reasons:
• Capability to destruct with low gas volumes and pressures that current destructor
technology cannot process.
• No electric power on site to operate the destructor, data acquisition, and metering
equipment required to confirm and certify methane destruction.
• Capability to operate in a hazardous environment with no open flames.
Further to its announcement on December 13, 2023, Delta now reports that it is in the pre-
commercial stage of evaluating a cost-effective technical solution, namely the installation and
operation of its MethanatorRX unit, which both destroys low volume methane from natural gas
wells and generates carbon credits (“Unit”). This Unit could solve the shortfalls mentioned here,
by converting the destroyed methane into fungible carbon credits. MethanatorRX has received
pg. 2
letters of support from a number of major oil and gas companies. MethanatorRX expects the Unit
will be installed and in operation before the end of January 2024. “
Mr. Allison added “Canada’s 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan3 sets out an ambitious and
achievable roadmap for Canada to reach its emissions reduction target of 40-45% below 2005
levels by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050. Delta is confident that MethanatorRX is a viable
solution to help meet these ambitious goals in Canada and other emission reduction goals
worldwide. “
