Nitech NRU Technology


Enhanced Oil Recovery
Both nitrogen and fire floods are used in order to enhance oil recovery. The basic difference is a fire flood injects air while a nitrogen flood injects near pure nitrogen.

Project Reference
Plant Location: Facility Size: Gas Source: Plant Type: Inlet Gas: Project Type: Completion: Bowman, ND, USA 430 Million m per year Associated gas from fire flood Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, Water, and NGL Extraction/ Fractionation N2 60% to 75% EPC August 2007

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A typical gas content in a flood has; a variable inlet nitrogen content; an increase of nitrogen content over time as field matures. Our answer: The Nitech NRU process is able to take on these variables and escalations, without the need for equipment modifications. Also normal for these facilities is; an integrated NGL extraction is a requirement; The process gas will be associated with oil/condensate production, therefore will contain high levels of C3+ hydrocarbons. Our answer: Nitech process can integrate NGL extraction with high ethane recovery Our history with flood applications; 3 NRUs associated with nitrogen floods; 1 NRU associated with a fire flood.

In Southwestern North Dakota, producers are injecting air into oil producing reservoirs in order to increase the temperature in the reservoir and to decrease the viscosity of the crude oil. In addition, the reservoir pressure is increased facilitating increased production. We employed a proven process designed to remove residual amounts of oxygen coming from the reservoir that had not taken part in the combustion process. In addition, there was a significant amount of carbon dioxide and nitrogen generated by the air flood process. Our process is designed for a wide range of nitrogen since the air injection process is on-going and the nitrogen content is increasing. This facility utilizes the newest generation Nitech internal condenser that provides a cleaner nitrogen vent relative to methane losses. Another feature of this facility was to design with small footprints since the facility is installed in process buildings as required to protect the facility from the harsh and cold winter environment with normal temperatures reaching from -29 to -40 degrees C. Carbon dioxide removal is brought about by the use of conventional amine and reduces the carbon dioxide content feeding the NRU from approximately 8 PPM to approximately 10 PPM. The oxygen removal system was designed to remove oxygen content to as low as 1 PPM. Nitrogen is removed from near 60% down to the specified level of approximately 10% to be used for both sales and field fuel gas. The Nitech NRU also includes integrated NGL extraction. The facility also fractionations the liquids to produce an HD-5 grade propane for the local market.

Conventional low-BTU Gas


Low Inlet Nitrogen Content Gas Streams Historically, solutions for gas streams that were just out of pipeline specification with regard to nitrogen content (3-10% nitrogen) included: Pay a penalty for off-spec gas; Blend gas to spec, if blend gas is available; If associated with an NGL extraction facility, ethane may be blended with sales gas to meet the inert specification. Today, we deliver economic solutions for processing low nitrogen gas streams: As a stand-alone system behind the expander plant; As an integrated part of the existing expander plant.

Paden, OK, USA 480 million m per year Conventional low-BTU gas Nitech NRU 6 - 9% N2 EP plus fabrication of the NRU cold boxes May 2008

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

An existing facility with NGL and condensate extraction, the Nitech NRU is located in Paden, OK, USA. For this particular facility, condensate, NGL, carbon dioxide and water are removed upstream of the NRU. In November, 2006, a Nitech NRU to remove nitrogen from a slip stream of facility gas has been designed and constructed. Implementing the Nitech NRU design allowed the client to more economically market their natural gas product. The Paden NRU utilizes the Nitech NRU technology in order to reduce the nitrogen levels below the pipeline requirements. The facility was designed to process a portion of the total volume of available higher nitrogen gas to less than 1.0 mole % nitrogen, then blending this low nitrogen stream with the remaining higher nitrogen gas that bypasses the NRU. The total blnded stream meets the pipeline specification of 3.0 mole % nitrogen. By bypassing a substantial amount of gas, the capital cost and operating costs were reduced. Additional equipment purchased and installed included an amine unit and associated compression. BCCK assisted the client with specification of the amine unit and compressors. NG Resources completed the fabrication of the NRU cold boxes. The NRU was installed at the Paden Facility by a third party construction company and continues to operate today.

Nitech NRU Technology


Unconventional Gas
The unconventional gas, after exploration, may have gas processing needs to meet pipeline quality, safety, and environmental specifications. At this moment, there is too little awareness on the market on the advanced NRU gas processing technologies availiable at the global level.

Types of Unconventional Gas


Located in conventional pore spaces in sandstone Low vertical permeability because of laminated structures No significant gas flow without fractures, natural or Induced Located in shales in source rock Very low permeability, almost no drainage radius, very heterogeneous Must be fractured

Tight Gas

Shale Gas

Global Development
Global reserves on unconventional are tremendous. Furthermore, there is a wide distribution of unconventional resources.

Coal Bed/Mine Methane

In gas-exporting regions such as the former Soviet Union and the Middle East, unconventional resources will not displace, but might complement conventional gas production. In gas-importing regions such as Europe and Asia, unconventional gas become interesting as currently most gas is imported (also might reduce import needs). The permeability in regions such as Europe and Asia is much lower to the other regions, which

makes overall E&P costs relatively higher. But the gas price in regions such as Europe are higher, which makes to overall investment still attractive (also royalties are included).

Developments with Nitech NRU

Today, we are working with an oil and gas company on one of the first tight gas exploration project in Poland, which is the first unconventional gas exploration facility to become active in Europe. We are confident this project will be the first of many unconventional gas processing projects in Europe.

Benefits of this process: Simple process providing crude grade helium with 99%+ He recovery. Easily integrated with Nitech NRU. Can provide significant source of revenue due to high helium value. With either naturally occurring high CO2 or an associated CO2 flood, we can supply the best CO2 extraction solutions, while minimizing overall capital expenditures and operating costs. We have the experience, capability and technology to cost effectively provide clients with the best CO2 extraction option for high CO2 streams either for enhanced oil recovery or for sale. Benefits based CO2 removal systems include: Purify natural gas into an on-spec product Create high quality CO2 for reuse or sale Recover NGLs for sale

NGL Extraction/Recovery
As mentioned above, G.I. Dynamics, together with its business partner BCCK Engineering Inc. is capable to provide an intregrated as well as an stand-alone NGL extraction, with high ethane recovery.

(Ultra High) CO2 Removal


The CO2 removal technologies provide producers with the most efficient and cost effective means of handling high concentrations of CO2. As an added bonus, greenhouse gas emissions are mitigated since the separated CO2 is sequestered rather than vented.

2.000 million m3 per year CO2 removal and injection, Nitech NRU & HeRU extraction facility Wyoming, USA

This facility includes CO2 removal and NGL extraction/stabilization. It produces high quality CO2 that is reinjected with an associated enhanced oil recovery project.

This is the worlds largest CO2 sequestration project. The Wyoming project utilizes a patented CO2 removal technology along with the proven Nitech nitrogen rejection / helium extraction process.
