Some in-place gaseous hydrocarbons contain high levels of nitrogen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, and are consequently non-saleable.
Leveraging our track record of analyzing complex technologies and our ability to evaluate technical challenges from a business perspective, BSI investigated approaches to local (in the oil or gas field) processing and economic recovery.
For one client, our multi-disciplinary team of reservoir engineers, chemists, and energy economists:
- Evaluated technologies such as membranes, nanotechnology, adsorption, absorption, and biological methods
- Considered applications such as Claus+ improvements, pre-extraction, sub-quality gas power generation, nitrogen separation, and bio-desulfurization
- Quantified benefits such as capital cost reduction, operating cost reduction, processing yield, quality, and operating reliability
