Enhanced Oil Recovery

Air Products’ industrial gases are being used to significantly increase recoverable hydrocarbon reserves. Our enhanced recovery technology spans the production of high-purity nitrogen for applications such as pressure maintenance, miscible displacements, and recovery of natural gas liquids (NGL). Air Products has successfully supplied multiple nitrogen injection and nitrogen rejection projects and continues to be at the forefront of developing enhanced recovery techniques involving non-hydrocarbon gases.

Benefits of injection of high-pressure nitrogen

Miscible displacement with nitrogen

Increases oil recovery in deep reservoirs

Gas cap displacement

Maintain reservoir pressure with nitrogen rather than natural gas

Cycling rich gas reservoirs

Maintain reservoir pressure to maximize natural gas liquids and condensate recovery

Immiscible displacement of oil

Augments gravity drainage or maintains gas cap pressure

Carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery

Increases recovery from residual oil zone

Air Products is an industry leader in nitrogen for enhanced oil recovery.

Our experienced team can engineer a nitrogen plant to meet your unique requirements.

Nitrogen On-site Gas Generation

Our range of nitrogen generators includes cryogenic, adsorption, and membrane technologies so we can meet all typical flow, pressure, and purity requirements where on-site gas generation is the best nitrogen supply mode.

Gases

Air Products gases, typically provided in gaseous and liquid form, enable customers in a wide range of industries to improve their environmental performance, product quality, and productivity.

Génération sur site

La génération de gaz sur site aide les clients impliqués dans le développement durable à réduire leur empreinte carbone, à augmenter leur efficacité énergétique, à augmenter leur rendement, à améliorer la qualité du produit final et à améliorer leurs performances environnementales.

Membranes PRISM®

Les séparateurs à membrane PRISM® génèrent du gaz sur site pour des applications telles que la génération d'azote, la déshydratation de l'air, la récupération d'hydrogène, la valorisation du biogaz et la génération d'air enrichi en oxygène.

Approvisionnement par pipeline

Situés sur les principaux sites industriels du monde entier, les pipelines offrent aux clients dont la demande de produits est importante toute une série d'avantages, notamment un approvisionnement fiable, sûr et flexible, et ce de manière rentable.
