dc.description.abstractBalancing sustainability initiatives amongst pressures to satisfy shareholder and stakeholder expectations juxtaposes corporate, financial, environmental and regulatory priorities. My research question concerned the opportunities existing for Enerplus to reduce its flaring of produced gas. From this, my research methodologies addressed the corporations’ ability to optimize produced wellhead gas. Undertaking a thorough technology review, I studied and synthesized The Energy and Environmental Research Center’s Alternative Uses For Associated Gas in the context of Enerplus’ Bakken operations. Regulatory implications were addressed, per the organization’s multiple operating jurisdictions. Additionally, my research underscored Enerplus’ environmental, technological, operational and financial exposures, thereby yielding a holistic associated gas management strategy that focused on the utilization of produced methane with minimal pre-processing. Consulting numerous Bakken-focused technology and solutions providers, as well as various industry-based Subject Matter Experts, my findings encompass technology and process recovery procedures for flare management, which Enerplus may choose to further review and analyze.
