Presenting companies at The Energy Venture Investment Summit presented by EnerCom and Colorado School of Mines included:

Onboard Dynamics: onboarddynamics.comOnboard Dynamics is an early-stage company that has developed unique, patented natural gas compression technology for driving down emissions. With our products and services, customers can adopt best practices for performing natural gas pipeline operations, for recovering methane from a variety of sources, and for transportation refueling of natural gas fleet vehicles.

Aureus Energy Services: aureusenergy.comAureus is a private company providing environmental solutions for our clients’ water management needs and are committed to helping clients achieve their respective ESG targets.  By implementing Aureus’ proprietary technologies, our clients can improve water conservation, reduce fuel usage, produce less waste, lower water handling costs and ultimately, minimize their environmental footprint.  

Ajax Analytics: ajax-analytics.comAjax Analytics provides full-service environmental monitoring and advanced data analytics software on a subscription basis.  Our target customers are oil and gas companies and government agencies who require localized measurements of air emissions around oil and gas infrastructure for compliance and measure ESG performance.  We believe that unbiased, authentic, and impactful environmental data can encourage collaboration and facilitate actionable measures that will improve business operations, stakeholder relationships, and public perception.

IPEC Energy LLC (Terra Laboratories): terra-laboratories.comIPEC Energy offers innovative technology and a platform that can help oil & gas operators, and power generating plants to transition into renewable energy domain by diversifying customers’ portfolios with renewable energy generating assets. Technology that we propose does not require substantial investments or drilling new wells.

Project Canary: projectcanary.comProject Canary is a mission-driven B-Corp aiming to sustain the “social license to operate” for natural gas producers, transporters, and consumers through independent assessment of carbon and environmental footprints. This is critical for every participant in the natural gas supply chain because large swaths of the chain currently have no direct measurements. This opens up both the industry and companies to concerns from environmentalists, investors, and the public.

Ubiterra: ubiterra.comReal-time, 3D geosteering software – Stay in the Pay with Ubiterra’s ZoneVu cloud-based software for horizontal drilling. Connecting seamlessly to the rig during drilling, ZoneVu offers real-time data for better field interpretations and decisions through the fully-integrated, real-time 3D view of the subsurface for live geosteering while drilling. Geosteering, geology and data management all upload automatically to a single cloud-based secure storehouse with remote back-up.

LongPath Technologies: longpathtech.comLongPath Technologies provides cost-effective, continuous methane emissions detection and localization for the oil and gas industry using Nobel-prize winning frequency comb laser systems that can cover up to 15 square miles with a single system.

SCFCan: scfcan.caSCFCan’s proprietary clean technology recovers valuable components from industrial waste streams in various sectors, including oil and gas, food and agriculture, and pharmaceutical. The unique process reduces costs, thereby increasing the technology’s viability for previously un-valorized wastes. The result is a circular economy with lower consumption of virgin resources and reductions in GHG emissions. Our most mature application demonstrates recovery of oil from drill cuttings.  The recovered oil matches virgin quality at a cost less than half of virgin price. In North America, 10 million barrels of oil per year could be diverted from landfills, reducing GHG emissions by 75%.

BioSqueeze®: biosqueeze.com BioSqueeze® is a novel technology that has been proven in both P&A and Producing Oil & Gas wells. Our fluids go where the water goes…seeking out and filling micro-annuli and any available pore space. Once in place, BioSqueeze® fills in the spaces forming permanent, impermeable crystalline calcium carbonate mineral. Because we can penetrate openings as small as a few microns, gas and water are blocked and your gas migration issues are eliminated!

Exum Instruments: exuminstruments.comExum builds instruments and software ecosystems to increase the speed of materials development and discovery, offering easy access to high performance at a low cost. Exum’s first instrument, the MassboxTM, is the first Laser Ablation Laser Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer (LALI-TOF-MS) on the market, capable of analyzing any sample you can throw at it – precisely, rapidly, and inexpensively.

Atargis Energy Corporation: atargis.comThe Atargis Cycloidal Wave Energy Converter (CycWEC) is the first, and only, technology to cost-effectively convert ocean wave energy to baseload electricity at utility scale.

Cowboy Clean Fuels: cowboycleanfuels.comCowboy Clean Fuels, LLC produces low-carbon renewable natural gas from depleted coalbed methane wells and alternative biomass feedstocks.
