Midland, Texas field base
Hero Process Solutions provides EPA-compliant flare systems, vapor recovery units and combustion equipment for West Texas oil and gas operators, with a field base in Midland, Texas supporting Permian Basin and Eagle Ford operations. Equipment is engineered and fabricated at our Kellyville, Oklahoma headquarters and field-commissioned by our Texas team, meeting Railroad Commission of Texas, TCEQ and federal EPA OOOOb/OOOOc standards.
West Texas: the operational center of U.S. oil and gas
West Texas is the geographic and operational hub of the U.S. oil industry. The Permian Basin, spanning the Texas-New Mexico border, accounts for the country’s largest share of crude production, anchored by the Delaware sub-basin (Reeves, Culberson counties on the Texas side) and the Midland sub-basin (Midland, Ector, Upton counties). The western reach of the Eagle Ford extends into Webb, Dimmit and Maverick counties in far southwest Texas through the dry-gas trend.
Hero Process Solutions runs a field base in Midland, Texas, at the geographic center of West Texas. From there our team mobilizes for installation, commissioning, inspection, troubleshooting, rentals and emergency support across both the Permian sub-basins and into the western Eagle Ford counties, with equipment fabricated at our Kellyville, Oklahoma headquarters.
The state framework governs every operation. The Railroad Commission of Texas regulates flaring and venting under Statewide Rule 32; the TCEQ administers air permitting for combustion equipment; and federal EPA standards under OOOOb and OOOOc overlay new, modified and existing sources. Hero’s equipment lineup is built for compliant operation across that entire framework.

West Texas flaring & emissions challenges
Associated-gas flaring in the Permian
Permian wells produce crude with significant associated gas. When gathering or processing capacity is offline, that gas has to be managed at the wellsite. Air-assist and utility flares provide smokeless EPA-compliant destruction; vapor recovery units capture gas for sale or fuel rather than burning it.
Dry-gas service in the western Eagle Ford
The western Eagle Ford runs through high-pressure dry-gas counties in southwest Texas. Sonic flare tips and air-assist designs are engineered for that pressure and flow profile. See our dedicated Eagle Ford page for the full equipment map across the three production windows.
Texas compliance: RRC Rule 32 and TCEQ
Texas governs flaring and venting through RRC Statewide Rule 32 and related permitting, with air authorizations from the TCEQ. Operators must authorize flaring and minimize routine flaring where feasible. Hero supplies EPA-listed combustion and vapor recovery equipment that operates compliantly under those rules.
Federal OOOOb and OOOOc across new and existing sources
EPA methane and VOC standards under 40 CFR 60 Subpart OOOOb and OOOOc apply across Texas operations. The direction is away from routine flaring and toward capture and high-efficiency combustion. Hero’s equipment and OOOOb compliance resources support that path.
In-state field support and rentals from Midland
Texas operations move fast. Tight project windows and completions cadences demand a vendor that can stage compliant equipment quickly. Hero’s Midland field base lets us deliver, install and commission across West Texas without the lead times of an out-of-state supplier, with rental fleet equipment available from stock.
West Texas emissions compliance & how Hero helps
General guidance, not legal advice. Confirm current requirements with your regulator. Hero’s role is to supply equipment that helps you meet whichever standard applies.
The RRC regulates flaring and venting through Statewide Rule 32 and related permitting. Operators must obtain authorization for flaring and demonstrate steps to minimize routine flaring. Hero supplies EPA-listed combustors, properly engineered flares and VRUs that give West Texas operators a defensible compliance path.
The TCEQ administers air permitting for combustion equipment across Texas. Hero’s equipment is sized and built for compliant operation under TCEQ permits, and our aftermarket team supports the inspection and recordkeeping needs over the equipment’s operating life.
Federal standards under 40 CFR 60 Subpart OOOOb and OOOOc apply across Texas operations on top of state rules, covering new, modified and existing oil and gas sources. Hero’s flares, combustors and VRUs, plus our OOOOb compliance resources, help operators meet those standards.
