About Us

Environmental Stewardship is Just Good Business

At ColdStream Energy, we are passionate about our commitment to improving air quality and reducing waste of the Earth’s valuable resources. A sustainable oil and gas industry is the foundation of the modern global economy, providing affordable and reliable energy. At this pivotal time, our technology provides a tremendous opportunity to capture valuable resources that otherwise would be burned in natural gas fired engines and equipment at compressor stations, facilities, and well pads.

Our solutions are capable of processing 200 Mscfd up to 5 MMscfd and are engineered for reliability, modularity, and a wide variety of applications, to maximize profits and reduce emissions.

We believe that doing good and making a profit are not mutually exclusive goals. Not only is converting “field gas” into valuable products good for the environment, but it is also just good business.

Together, we can help the oil and gas industry achieve its environmental goals and improve returns by Maximizing Profits and Reducing Emissions at Compressor Stations.
