Records received February 6, 2025. SOURCE ADDRESS: 7 Rankine Road, La Sal, UT 84530-0215. Approximately 35 miles south of Moab, San Juan County; Take Highway 191 south out of Moab. Past mile marker 96 take Wheeler road. Travel east on this road approximately 4.5 miles and turn left again (north). The plant is 1.8 miles up this road (County Road 111). SOURCE CONTACT: Coy Young, PM: 435-631-2131, cell 970-739-3148 Ken Lapham GNG contact; 713-379-6305 Mailing address: Jason Selch, Manager Green Natural Gas Ventures, LLC 7 Rankine Road La Sal, UT 84530-0215 OPERATING STATUS: Not Operating. Site was shut down December 5, 2024, when power was turned off. The site has shut down both inlet and outlet lines. The site is maintaining 40 psi of sweet gas in lines to keep values and pipes from corroding. The site is using buy back gas from Williams to keep flare pilot lights going (at about 20 Mscf per day). DOGM has indicated that the well field leases have been cancelled and wells are shut in. PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Natural Gas Processing - The Lisbon Valley Helium Plant is a natural gas processing plant which extracts natural gas and crude oil from the Lisbon Oil Field. The natural gas, crude oil, and produced water are brought from the field into the plant by pipeline in three different pressure streams: the 150 pounds per square inch (psi) system, the 400 psi system, and the 800 psi system. Sixty million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas is the design inlet stream of the plant. In the process separation building, the products from the inlet stream are separated into gas, crude oil, and produced water. The crude oil is stabilized in the stabilizer tower, and then transferred to two 5,000-barrel (bbl) tanks. Once sold, the crude oil is shipped via pipeline from this storage facility. This facility can produce up to 1,440 bbl of crude oil per 0 ( 8 2 day. Emissions from the two 5,000 bbl tanks are injected into the plant fuel gas system through a closed duct system. The produced water flows to a separator where the majority of the water is separated out and injected into a state approved water injection well. The remaining oil/water mixture is routed to a secondary oil recovery tank (emission source E28) where it is heated by a natural gas-fired steam boiler (emission source E27) and separated into oil and water. The oil from this tank is sent to storage and water is also routed to the water injection well. Inlet gas, after oil separation, flows through a low and high pressure methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) system, which consists of liquid flowing down the contactor. The lean MDEA liquid, which has a high affinity for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2), absorbs H2S and CO2 out of the gas stream. The high concentrations of H2S and CO2 in the rich MDEA are released during the heating process, and the rich MDEA is converted back to lean MDEA. Once regenerated, the lean MDEA is routed back to the contactor for additional H2S and CO2 removal from the continuous inlet gas stream. Gas from the MDEA regenerator (acid gas) either enters the Sulfur Recovery Unit (SRU), Sulfur Enrichment and Injection Unit (SEI), or is deep well injected. The SRU and SEI are currently out of service, and all gases from the MDEA are being deep well injected. The plant maintains the option to utilize the SRU and SEI and associated incinerator. In the SRU, the H2S in the acid gas is converted to liquid sulfur in a two-stage catalytic reaction involving three converters - the Selectox converter and two Claus converters. The Selectox converter uses a premium specialty catalyst appropriate for exceptionally lean acid gas streams. Averaging 4 percent H2S, the acid gas entering the Selectox converter is reduced to a composition of approximately 1 percent H2S. The acid gas then goes through two conventional Claus converters where additional H2S is removed. Conversion efficiency across the Claus converters is unusually low because the acid gas concentration is at the lower limit of application for Claus catalyst technology. The liquid sulfur from all three converters runs into storage tanks where the temperature is maintained above 250o F until trucks can move the product to market. The SEI uses the compound Flexsorb® SE to scrub H2S from the H2S + CO2 gas stream. The gas stream entering the SEI from the MDEA is approximately 4% H2S and 96% CO2. Following the use of Flexsorb® SE, the gas is separated into two streams. The first is roughly a 50/50 mixture of H2S and CO2. The second is mainly CO2 with trace amounts of H2S. The 50/50 mixture is deep well injected and the second stream is tail gas. Tail gas leaving the Claus reactors or SEI flows to the incinerator which operates at approximately 1500o F. At this temperature, sulfur compounds are oxidized to form SO2. The hot gas is then cooled in a steam boiler, producing a significant portion of the Lisbon Gas Plant’s steam supply. After being cooled, the exhaust gas is vented to the atmosphere. The facility has several compressors which compress the natural gas to increase flow through the pipeline. All the compressors run on well quality natural gas. There are also two natural gas fired steam boilers to provide steam to the distillation process. The company has two diesel fired generators which are used to power fire water pumps and to provide electrical power in case of emergencies. These are not used as part of any processes on site. 3 APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Title V Operating Permit # 3700014004, dated November 23, 2021 40 CFR 60 Subpart Dc – Small Industrial steam generating units 40 CFR 60, Subpart KKK – Equipment leaks of VOC on shore NG processing plant 40 CFR 60, Subpart LLL – Onshore NG processing 40 CFR 60, Subpart OOOO – Crude oil/NG production, Transmission, Distribution 40 CFR 63, Subpart HH – HAPS from NG production facilities 40 CFR 63, subpart ZZZZ – RICE 40 CFR 64 – Compliance Assurance Monitoring State Rules.

[40CFR 60.483-2]. [Origin: DAQE-AN0100340024-16]. [40 CFR 60 Subpart KKK] II.B.13.a.1 Monitoring: I. General The monitoring requirements under this section apply to all affected equipment. Compliance will be determined by review of records and reports, review of performance test results, and inspection using the methods and procedures specified in following paragraphs: (a) In conducting the performance tests required in 40 CFR 60.8, the permittee shall use as reference methods and procedures the test methods in appendix A of 40 CFR 60 or other methods and procedures as specified in this section, except as provided in 40 CFR 60.8(b). (b) The permittee shall determine compliance with the standards as follows: (1) Method 21 shall be used to determine the presence of leaking sources. The instrument shall be calibrated before use each day of its use by the procedures specified in Method 21. The following calibration gases shall be used: (i) Zero air (less than 10 ppm of hydrocarbon in air); and 58 (ii) A mixture of methane or n-hexane and air at a concentration of about, but less than, 10,000 ppm methane or n-hexane. (c) The permittee shall determine compliance with the no detectable emission standards in Standards I(d), II(i), III, V(e), and VIII(e) of this permit condition as follows: (1) The requirements of paragraph (b) of this section shall apply. (2) Method 21 shall be used to determine the background level. All potential leak interfaces shall be traversed as close to the interface as possible. The arithmetic difference between the maximum concentration indicated by the instrument and the background level is compared with 500 ppm for determining compliance. (d) The permittee shall test each piece of equipment unless he demonstrates that a process unit is not in VOC service, i.e., that the VOC content would never be reasonably expected to exceed 10 percent by weight. For purposes of this demonstration, the following methods and procedures shall be used: (1) Each piece of equipment is presumed to be in VOC service or in wet gas service unless the permittee demonstrates that the piece of equipment is not in VOC service or in wet gas service. For a piece of equipment to be considered not in VOC service, it must be determined that the VOC content can be reasonably expected never to exceed 10.0 percent by weight. For a piece of equipment to be considered in wet gas service, it must be determined that it contains or contacts the field gas before the extraction step in the process. For purposes of determining the percent VOC content of the process fluid that is contained in or contacts a piece of equipment, procedures that conform to the methods described in ASTM E169-63, 77, or 93, E168-67, 77, or 92, or E260- 73, 91, or 96 shall be used (40 CFR 60.632(f)). (2) Organic compounds that are considered by the Director to have negligible photochemical reactivity may be excluded from the total quantity of organic compounds in determining the VOC content of the process fluid. (3) Engineering judgment may be used to estimate the VOC content, if a piece of equipment had not been shown previously to be in service. If the Director disagrees with the judgment, paragraphs (d) (1) and (d)(2) of this section shall be used to resolve the disagreement. (e) The permittee shall demonstrate that an equipment is in light liquid service by showing that either the paragraphs (e)(1) through (e)(3) or paragraphs (e)(4) and (e)(5) of this section apply: (1) The vapor pressure of one or more of the components is greater than 0.3 kPa at 20oC (1.2 in. H20 at 68oF). Standard reference texts or ASTM D2879-83, 96, or 97 shall be used to determine the vapor pressures. (2) The total concentration of the pure components having a vapor pressure greater than 0.3 kPa at 20oC (1.2 in. H20 at 68oF) is equal to or greater than 20 percent by weight. (3) The fluid is a liquid at operating conditions. (4) Equipment is in heavy liquid service if the weight percent evaporated is 10 percent or less at 150oC (302oF) as determined by ASTM Method D86-78, 82, 90, 95, or 96. [40 CFR 60.633(h)(1)] (5) Equipment is in light liquid service if the weight percent evaporated is greater than 10 percent at 150oC (302oF) as determined by ASTM Method D86-78, 82, 90, 95, or 96. [40 CFR 60.633(h)(2)] (f) Samples used in conjunction with paragraphs (d), (e), and (g) of this section shall be representative of the process fluid that is contained in or contacts the equipment or the gas being combusted in the flare. (g) The permittee shall determine compliance with the standards of flares as follows: (1) Method 22 shall be used to determine visible emissions. (2) A thermocouple or any other equivalent device shall be used to monitor the presence of a pilot flame in the flare. 59 (3) The maximum permitted velocity for air assisted flares shall be computed using the following equation: Vmax= K1 + K2*HT Where: Vmax = Maximum permitted velocity, m/sec (ft/sec) HT = Net heating value of the gas being combusted, MJ/scm (Btu/scf). K1 = 8.706 m/sec (metric units) = 28.56 ft/sec (English units) K2 = 0.7084 m4/(MJ-sec) (metric units) = 0.087 ft4/(Btu-sec) (English units) (4) The net heating value (HT) of the gas being combusted in a flare shall be computed using the following equation: Where: K = Conversion constant, 1.740 x 10-7 (g-mole)(MJ)/ (ppm-scm-kcal) (metric units) = 4.674 x 10-6 [(g-mole)(Btu)/(ppm-scf-kcal)] (English units) Ci = Concentration of sample component "i," ppm Hi = net heat of combustion of sample component "i" at 25oC and 760 mm Hg (77oF and 14.7 psi), kcal/g-mole (5) Method 18 and ASTM D 2504-67, 77, or 88 (Reapproved 1993) shall be used to determine the concentration of sample component "i." (6) ASTM D 2382-76 or 88 or D4809-95 shall be used to determine the net heat of combustion of component "i" if published values are not available or cannot be calculated. (7) Method 2, 2A, 2C, or 2D, as appropriate, shall be used to determine the actual exit velocity of a flare. If needed, the unobstructed (free) cross-sectional area of the flare tip shall be used.
