Houston — 06/10/2026 — Artemis Energy Partners announced a minority investment in Capwell Services, Inc., a Houston-based energy-tech company developing modular methane-capture units engineered for the low- and intermittent-flow vents that have historically gone uncaptured across oil and gas operations.
Capwell Services, Inc. is a hard-tech startup commercializing compact, skid-mounted units purpose-built to abate methane from vent sources under 50 MSCFD. Unlike vapor recovery units and combustors, which are designed for larger flows, Capwell’s units target the long tail of small, continuous vent points — tank batteries, compressor rod packings, pneumatic valves and pumps, and glycol dehydrators — that operators today have no economical way to capture. Captured gas is returned to the producer’s sales line rather than flared, turning a compliance cost center into a revenue line and delivering methane abatement at roughly half the cost of incumbent solutions.
Capwell’s units are Class I Division 2 rated and CSA compliant, feature 24/7 remote monitoring, and offer a sub-day installation profile. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Houston, the company is a participant in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Methane Emissions Reduction Program (DOE MERP), a member of Greentown Labs, and an alumnus of the Rice Alliance Clean Energy Accelerator, with active commercial pilots underway with oil and gas operators.
“We are excited to back Capwell and its founders as they tackle one of the most overlooked sources of emissions in our industry,” said Bobby Tudor, founder and CEO of Artemis Energy Partners. “Low-flow vents are widespread, individually small, and economically invisible to existing recovery hardware — yet collectively they represent a meaningful share of upstream and midstream methane emissions. Capwell’s approach turns abatement into a positive-return proposition for the operator, which is exactly the kind of aligned-incentive solution the energy transition needs. We are proud to partner with Andrew, Lucien, Tomas, and the broader Capwell team on this journey.”
Positive Environmental Impact
Methane is roughly 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas over a 100-year horizon, and its shorter atmospheric half-life means that capturing it today delivers outsized near-term climate benefit. The U.S. EPA estimates oil and gas operations emit more than 220 million metric tons of CO₂-equivalent annually, and Capwell’s positioning cites over 14 million metric tons of methane vented per year across the U.S. and Canada. By targeting the small, continuous vent sources that fall below the economic threshold of conventional recovery equipment, Capwell’s technology directly addresses a category of emissions that operators have historically had no commercially viable way to abate. Capturing this gas and returning it to the sales line produces a negative cost per ton of CO₂e abated — a sharp contrast to most competing decarbonization pathways.
Capwell Use of Funds
Capwell intends to use the proceeds to scale manufacturing of its commercial units, expand pilot deployments with upstream and midstream operators, and build out its commercial and field-service organization. The investment will also support continued engineering refinement of the platform and the company’s ongoing work with industrial partners, including its relationship with Halliburton through NaviScale and its participation in the DOE MERP funded under the Inflation Reduction Act.
