TRANSCRIPT
Production, storage, transportation and handling of hydrocarbons and other chemicals generally require the use of chemically inert nitrogen.

Greene’s Applications: • Gas Lift: GOM & SOLA
• Putting a well back on line, taking the hydrostatic column out of the well after well shut in for a period of time
• Naturally flowing wells - no other artificial lift • Not a coil tubing job • No packer on the bottom of tubing • 10k psi pressure maximum • Cryogenics only
• Production Testing: GOM & SOLA • Means of stimulating a well that has choked itself off • Creating a pressure differential between the wellbore &
formation to reverse-frac the formation by dropping the pressure, stimulating production
• Naturally flowing wells - no other artificial lift • Horizontal and vertical wells • Not a coil tubing job • No packer on the bottom of tubing • 10k psi pressure maximum • Cryogenics only
• Pipeline Applications: GOM, LA, TX, MS, OK • Remove product from the line and replace with non-
combustable N2 that can be vented to atmosphere • Pressure testing of pipelines - dry gas pipeline • Purge/dewater pipelines in gas applications (post
construction, after pressure testing with water, routine dewatering)
• Can push foam pigs to dewater pipelines - volume rate maximum - 2000 scfm against atmospheric pressure
• Could push mechanical cleaning pigs/trains if offline and line pressure <500psi, <5 miles, <16" pipe
• Could push smart pigs if pressure <500psi, <5 miles, <10" pipe • Max pressure 10k psi • Cryogenics or bottles
• Purging piping or vessels: GOM, LA, TX, MS, OK • Purging to allow customer to safely open up the line or
vessel for maintenance, repair, decommissioning, etc. • Purging product to reduce piping temperature • Purging product to eliminate flammable material • Purging product to flush hazardous material • Cryogenics or bottles

• Pressure Testing: GOM & SOLA • Fabrication & assembly pressure testing for certification of
pressure rating of equipment • Refurbish or remanufacture pressure testing certification • Bottle racks with booster: Pressure range 0-15k psi -
volume range 1scf-10,000scf • Cryogenics unit: Pressure range 0-10k psi - volume range
1scf-1,500,000scf
• Leak Detection: GOM & SOLA • Sensitive environments - offshore biggest market • No cleanup • No environmental disposal • Bottle racks with booster: Pressure range 0-15k psi • Cryogenics unit: Pressure range 0-10k psi
• Dewatering, Drying and Pressure Packing: GOM & SOLA
• Riser commissioning and preservation • New construction of skid manifolds, vessels, piping for
commissioning and decommissioning Pipelines • Cryogenics or bottles
• Commissioning and Start-up: GOM & SOLA • Plants bringing up new section construction • Production facility • Gathering facility • Welding cooling requirements - nitrogen good at cooling
material like stainless steel • Bottle racks with booster: Pressure range 0-15k psi -
volume range 1scf-10,000scf • Cryogenics unit: Pressure range 0-10k psi - volume range
1scf-1,500,000scf
• Preservation: GOM & SOLA • Nitrogen keeps moisture out of the system, can be vented
to atmosphere with no disposal of waste costs • Preserves assets after testing before put in service • Bottle racks with booster - volume range 1scf-10,000scf • Cryogenics unit - volume range 1scf-1,500,000scf
• Decommissioning: GOM & SOLA • Nitrogen used to purge for decommissioning • Offshore pipeline • Offshore riser • Anything with a ballast system (some sort of reservoir that
needs to be purged) • Bottle racks with booster: Pressure range - volume range
1scf-10,000scf • Cryogenics unit: Pressure range - volume range 1scf-
1,500,000scf
Nitrogen Bottle Racks
• 12-pack N2 Bottle Racks • 3,600 scf Capacity • 2,000 psi Nitrogen Gas Booster • Air Driven • 20,000 psi Test Pressure • Weight: 250 lbs. • Dimensions: 3.5’ L x 2’ W x 3’ H • Can Be Coupled with Nitrogen Bottle Racks
