Description
Approximately 200 billion cubic meters of gas are flared or vented globally each year, of which the United States is a significant contributor. Obantarla’s mission is to mitigate methane and CO2 emissions by replacing flares with systems that produce economically viable, low-carbon chemical products. At scale, Obantarla’s chemical-processing technology will significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption from the domestic upstream oil and gas sector. Obantarla is a rapidly growing small group of engineers from diverse backgrounds. The firm also draws on industry partners to help design and specify parts of its chemical reactor. During its startup phase and subsequent expansion, Obantarla has greatly benefitted from using Vault software to manage CAD files and drawings, as well as requirement documents. Furthermore, the generative design tools available in Autodesk Fusion 360 software have allowed for rapid design iterations of complex custom parts for additive manufacturing.
