"Our company continues to build on our knowledge, refining our systems while developing new solutions to meet tomorrow’s gas processing needs for the oil and gas industry"
About Us
Pioneer Energy is a Colorado-based designer and original equipment manufacturer of novel hydrocarbon processing technologies that decarbonize the oil and gas industry.
​
The company offers a range of innovative, proprietary systems that capture or elminate emissions sources and turn otherwise wasted or flared gas and liquid streams into revenue generating products. Pioneer offers systems to more efficiently process wellhead fluids, to capture and process associated and non-associated gas streams, and to monetize oil tank battery vapors.
​
Our systems are skid or trailer mounted, modular, autonomous units that are remotely monitored and controlled. They provide oil producers with tremendous flexibility in equipment deployment and redeployment and superior uptime, while minimizing CAPEX and OPEX requirements.
Pioneer specializes in providing custom engineered solutions at any desired scale to accommodate customers’ unique field conditions, while providing high-quality output streams that meet stringent requirements.
​
Pioneer Energy’s engineering, field service, and remote operations teams provide best-in-class support of both domestic as well as international customers’ operations. The company’s knowledge is underscored by their field experience in the Bakken and Denver-Julesburg oil fields.
We are an original equipment manufacturer of fully integrated natural gas processing plants that range in size from 400 MSCFD to 50+ MMSCFD.
Multiple units can cluster together to address any size gas stream.
