Nitrogen services
The use of nitrogen in oil and gas well interventions can help reduce hydrostatic pressure, unload fluids and clean out wells, supporting well start-up, production restoration and optimization, as well as maintenance activities and the resolution of certain operational issues.
The services involve the use of liquid nitrogen, which is converted into gas at the wellsite, to reduce hydrostatic pressure, unload fluids from the well, clean and bring wells into production, and carry out various testing and maintenance operations.
Nitrogen services are provided for:
- Nitrogen displacement of well fluids
- Nitrogen lifting prior to perforation
- Reservoir formation stimulation
- Light gel washing
- Foam cementing
An operation begins with reviewing the client's requirements and planning the job, followed by equipment mobilization and transportation to the wellsite. The intervention is carried out in accordance with specific procedures and safety requirements. Upon completion, the results are reviewed and the necessary job completion documentation is prepared.
