Streamline Innovations has partnered with Zamil, a Saudi trading company and supplier to the energy industry, to market and deploy its environmentally forward treatment solutions for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the kingdom. Under the terms of the agreement, Zamil is Streamline’s dealer in Saudi Arabia. This business initiative comes at a time when the collective Middle East energy industry is moving toward more sustainable operations aimed at improving Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance. Saudi Arabia recently announced its intent to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2060 by implementing a diverse set of initiatives in the kingdom aimed at protecting the environment and addressing climate change. Crude oil and natural gas production streams are often contaminated with H2S, which represents a serious hazard to human health and is highly corrosive to infrastructure.
To utilize sour oil and gas for beneficial uses, such as power generation, it must be treated to remove the H2S. Conventional treatment methods are typically expensive, generate negative downstream effects and do not permanently prevent the H2S from reconstituting itself. Streamline and Zamil are partnering to provide vital H2S treating services throughout the KSA with the Valkyrie and Talon solutions, which safely break down H2S at the molecular level into elemental Sulphur. The partnership will focus on initiatives and other opportunities designed to reduce or eliminate H2S and SO2 emissions while creating sustainable, usable energy in the form of clean natural gas or electricity and facilitate capture and use of related carbon dioxide (CO2) streams. Zamil is an established, well-respected company with a long track record of successfully introducing new technology to Saudi Arabia and beyond. This is the second partnership in the Middle East we have announced in the past three months, which is a testament to the growing momentum in the demand for our innovative, technology-based solutions that simultaneously add economic value while improving environmental performance.
