The founder was interviewed on this podcast - https://overcast.fm/+OBZna2NS8/5:16 https://overcast.fm/+OBZna2NS8/5:16 To summarise points that are missed in the comments and maybe not well describe on the website: This is based in Canada. The vast majority is heavy oil in unconsolidated sand. This cannot be pumped, so there are commonly no pipelines. During the process of extraction a lot of low value methane escapes from the oil. Canada has limits to the amount of venting a well can do, so if they reaches the limit they have to either slow the well's production or spend money on building a flare. Both options have an economic cost. These mining units are addressing this.
