Kathairos

What it does

Kathairos provides a zero-emissions solution for oil and gas well sites by replacing methane-rich natural gas with liquid nitrogen to power pneumatic equipment. The system uses cryogenic liquid nitrogen storage tanks that are installed at well sites, eliminating methane venting and reducing CO2-equivalent emissions. The technology is simple, scalable, and requires no capital outlay from customers—they pay a monthly tank rental and refill fee. Kathairos also offers Atlas, an advanced software platform that provides real-time, verifiable emissions data aligned with frameworks like OGMP 2.0.

Who it is for

Kathairos serves oil and gas producers (E&Ps) across North America, particularly those operating in major basins such as the Permian, Eagle Ford, Marcellus, Utica, Haynesville, and others. The solution is designed for operators who need to meet methane emissions targets without compromising reliability or production. It is suitable for both single and multi-well pads and can scale from one site to thousands. The company is trusted by over 70 top-tier E&Ps, including Chevron.

Why it matters

Methane reduction is urgent for the oil and gas industry due to regulatory pressure and environmental goals. Kathairos offers a proven, reliable method to eliminate methane venting from pneumatics, achieving 99.99% uptime and over 1 million tonnes of CO2e eliminated to date. The system is always on, requires no maintenance or operator involvement, and generates valuable carbon credits for customers. By replacing methane with an inert, abundant gas, Kathairos helps operators stay ahead of regulations like Canada's Regulation 7 while maintaining production efficiency.
