Oil & Gas

Upstream Applications

  • Enhance oil recovery: for ERO, nitrogen is injection into active reservoirs to increase pressure and extract more oil from aging wells
  • Well stimulation: after well maintenance or completion, high-pressure nitrogen is used to lift fluids and initiate flow of product
  • Pressure testing: Nitrogen is used to detect leaks of equipment to ensure safety 

Maintenance and Midstream Applications

  • Pipeline pigging & purging: clean and remove moisture and contaminants that can clog or erode a pipeline.
  • Blanketing & inerting: nitrogen is introduced into tanks and vessels to displace oxygen and prevent contamination and explosions 
  • Corrosion control: nitrogen creates an inert environment separating out moisture and impurities to protect pipelines and equipment

Generon recommendation: Standard Design Membrane and Pressure Swing Adsorption Units

Built to Specification with Feed Air Compressor Nitrogen Production Unit and Booster Air Compressor Nitrogen Flows up to 6000 SCFM
