Nitrogen Lift Coiled Tubing Operations

Nitrogen lifting is a common technique used to initiate production

on a well following workover or overbalanced completion. ACDs
GUPD pumps inject nitrogen into the uid column to displace
liquids and reduce the hydrostatic pressure created by the uid
column. A coiled tubing string is generally used to apply the
treatment, which involves running to depth while pumping highpressure nitrogen gas. Once the kill-uid column is unloaded
and the well is capable of natural ow, the coiled tubing string is
removed and the well is prepared for production.

Enhanced Oil Recovery

ACDs high pressure nitrogen pumps are used in Enhanced

Oil Recovery (EOR) operations to restore formation pressure
and also to improve oil displacement or uid ow in the oil
reservoir. One of the major types of enhanced oil recovery
operations is miscible displacement thru the injection of
nitrogen into the well.
ACDs pumping units are capable of delivering high-purity
nitrogen gas for use in oil or gas wells at extremely
high pressures and ows. A typical nitrogen converter
includes one of ve different ACD high pressure cryogenic
reciprocating pumps.

Nitrogen Purging

Nitrogen purging using ACD pumps is a technique used to

replace hydrocarbon vapors, ammable and toxic gases or
air with an environmentally safe and inert dry atmosphere.
The two most common methods of purging are displacement
and dilution. The geometry of the process system determines
which method is used. For simple systems, displacement
purging is usually more effective in terms of time and cost,
but for more complex systems, dilution purging is used.

Renery maintenance, expansions or other activities sometimes

call for the shutdown of the plant, at which point it is desirable
to reduce the temperature of process catalysts as quickly as
possible. ACDs high ow nitrogen pumps can be used as a
controlled cooling agent to reduce the time before remedial
work begins. The risk of re is also reduced because of the inert
properties of nitrogen.

Long term preservation

Foam Inerting

Because nitrogen is an inert gas it is ideal for the long term

preservation of installations that may not be in operation immediately (mothballing). For example, on completion of a process
system or pipeline commissioning, it is occasionally necessary to
protect the system from corrosion or degradation for a period of
time.

Some of our customers have developed processes to enable

work that generates heat to be carried out on hydrocarbon
handling systems without endangering workers or facilities. The
nitrogen foam is injected into a process system at a low point and
allowed to completely ll the vessel and pipe work, rendering the
internal atmosphere inert. Once the work operations that generate
heat have been completed, the nitrogen foam degenerates into
surfactant, some water nitrogen gas.

Pressure Testing

*(Maximum Capacity)

In some instances where hydrostatic testing may not be possible,

systems or components may be tested with nitrogen. If considering this as an alternative, it is mandatory that the system design
specications be reviewed and a risk analysis be conducted before
using a compressible medium for the test.

The boiling point of liquid nitrogen is -320F (-195C) and as

such it has an application as a coolant in indirect pipe freezing
systems. Users of ACDs cryogenic pumps have reported that
on pipe-work compatible with cryogenic liquids, liquid nitrogen
can be used as the direct cooling medium. The benets of this
approach over conventional methods reportedly are:
s More effective use of plant/platform personnel
s No interruptions to the process system while repairs are
carried out
s There is no draining operation thus, saving time
s Liquid waste is limited resulting in cost savings
s Isolation for pressure or leak testing is provided
