Dr. Mathias Schlecht from ColdStream Energy
Burning rich field gas in compressor engines wastes valuable NGLs, and Dr. Mathias Schlecht, President and CEO of ColdStream Energy, has a better idea. Jason and Nada dig into how ColdStream’s adsorption system cleans up fuel gas, why midstream contracts split who pays from who profits, and what 22 years at Baker Hughes taught him about should cost, ROI goal posts and building products. Plus a rough first commercial install, microgrids, and how operators are spending capital right now.
