CRYOGENIC LIQUID NITROGEN SERVICES

High Arctic's Cryogenic Liquid Nitrogen Pumping Services high pressure pumping units are heat recovery nitrogen systems used in land and offshore applications worldwide.

Nitrogen is used in place of air whenever risk hazard assessment dictates. It is an inert gas that is non-corrosive and non-explosive. It is ideal for industrial type applications for purging pipelines, pressure testing vessels and facilitating withdrawal of stored liquids from vessels.

Nitrogen's use in the oil and gas industry is vast, dealing with all service lines and used principally in applications supporting underbalanced operations. Nitrogen is added to acid blends to provide additional energy to assist in the clean up of unwanted materials and sediments in order to enhance well flow rates.

Nitrogen is also added to water and hydrocarbons when fracing to assist formations in clean up with low bottom hole pressures. Nitrogen is particularly useful for what it does not do when used in underbalanced drilling, as it does not react negatively with most materials, making it a safe way to complete the job. Nitrogen is often pumped into the wellbore related to the underbalanced work to safely improve the recovery of introduced or produced fluids, while reducing the potential for damaging the formation.
