Capstone Energy+ Inc. (Capstone) is providing a C600 Signature Series microturbine to Maurel & Prom for its flare gas valorization project at the company’s onshore asset in Gabon, West Africa.
The project will support Maurel & Prom’s flare gas valorization efforts, in which gas that would otherwise be flared is recovered and converted into a useful form of energy. The microturbine will operate on recovered associated gas to provide electricity for platform operations. Commissioning is expected in November <a href="https://absafricatv9491.live-website.com/upcoming-uct-inaugural-lectures-august-2026/” title=”Upcoming UCT inaugural lectures: August 2026″>2026.
“For operators like Maurel & Prom, flare gas valorization solves two problems at once: it eliminates a meaningfulerations depend on,” said Vince Canino, president and chief executive office at Capstone. “Converting fuel that would otherwise be wasted into dependable on-site electricity, in a tropical environment far from any grid, is exactly the kind of application our technology was built for.”
Across Sub-Saharan Africa and other major producing regions, associated gas has long been flared where no capture infrastructure exists, representing both a significant emissionsaring intensifies, upstream operators are increasingly seeking proven alternatives. Capstone’s microturbines convert that waste gas into productive on-site power without requiring pipeline connectivity or major infrastructure investment
Capstone’s microturbine platform is engineered continuous operation on variable-composition fuel streams, including associated gas. Its single-moving-part, air-bearing design requires no oil, no coolant, and fewer service interventions than conventional reciprocating engines.
