How exactly can 12:eleven help with ESG in the oil and gas industry? In short, by eliminating methane emissions from pneumatic controls.
Let's dive into the details of the 12:eleven Air Compressor package and how these can help your company with ESG.
The oil and gas industry has been focusing more on sustainability in recent years due to financial pressures from competing with renewable energies like wind or solar power as well as consumer expectations.
One way they have done so is by reducing their environmental impact
According to the EPA, “one third of the warming from greenhouse gases occurring today is due to human-caused emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that traps about 30 times as much heat as carbon dioxide over 100 years, and sharp cuts over the next decade will have a near-term beneficial impact on the climate. In the United States, the oil and natural gas industry is the largest industrial source of methane emissions.”
The constant bleed of natural gas from pneumatic instrument systems across the petroleum industry is collectively one of the largest sources of methane emissions.
Companies can eliminate methane emissions by converting natural gas-powered pneumatic control systems to compressed instrument air systems.

Introducing the 12:eleven Air Compressor package
Designed by our group of engineers, 12:eleven’s Compressed Air Packages can convert fuel gas systems and eliminate methane emissions at well sites and well pads – demonstrating ESG commitments to shareholders, employees, consumers, and regulators.
What are the different types of packages?
12:eleven Air Compressor packages are available in multiple sized components and types (compressors, motors, dehydrators, and volume tanks) to provide you with options to best fit your situation; all with similar design layouts.
Our single compressor package is a great option for small jobs where space is limited or for situations where a compressor needs to be operating quickly.
Larger packages are available for more significant and substantial projects. Large or small, 12:eleven has an air compressor package to fit your needs.
What's included in a 12:eleven Air Compressor package?
The main components in the 12:eleven Air Compressor package are the compressor, power source, dehydrator and volume tank.
Compressors are available in various types and sizes to accommodate specific needs. The compressed air package depends on a reliable power source.
Dehydrators, or air dryers, are an important component to the compressed air package, and designed based on reliability and optimal economic inputs. Volume tanks provide for uninterrupted air supply and sized based on application.
- The packages can be stand-alone or designed to be added to an existing skid where space permits.
- Available in standard designed or can be modified to accommodate a location's needs.
- Each package is built on an oilfield skid with both lugs and forklifts pockets for easy and quick installation options.
- Quality sourced components will provide a dependable “workhorse” that you can count on!
Why use a 12:eleven Air Compressor package?
Now that you are aware of what the 12:eleven Air Compressor packages are all about, here are some reasons on why you would want to use one.
- Demonstrates significant ESG commitment to all stakeholders by converting natural gas-powered pneumatic controls to a compressed air system.
- Eliminates methane emissions from process control equipment, which is a substantial more potent greenhouse gas (GHG) than carbon dioixed.
- Financial return and cost savings:
- Eliminating the loss of natural gas to the atmosphere, which leads to increased gas sales.
- Potential to monetize and value the methane mitigation through Methane Performance Certificates (MPCs).
- Using compressed air avoids the use of flammable natural gas, significantly increasing safety.
- Increased life of control devices and operational efficiencies by eliminating corrosive gases found in natural gas.
