Enhanced oil and gas recovery methods

Your Partner in Tertiary Recovery

At Linde, we have many years of experience in nitrogen gas injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). We have provided turnkey installations across the globe, including the second largest nitrogen plant in the world for Pemex in Mexico. Linde has the tools and expertise to work directly with you to assess your field and determine the suitability of nitrogen (N₂) or carbon dioxide (CO₂) injection. Maximize the tertiary recovery of your reserves with Linde.

At Linde, we can help you get the most out of your fields with nitrogen injection for EOR. We’ll work with you to design, build and operate a world-class on-site air separation plant to provide you with reliable, low-cost nitrogen exactly where you need it. We have demonstrated this value in Hawkins, Texas where we supply ExxonMobil with more than 3,000 tons of N₂ per day and in Samaria, Mexico where we supply Pemex with 6,680 tons of N₂ per day. Cost-effective, versatile and field-proven, our nitrogen supply and injection systems are the preferred choice to help you increase extraction through enhanced oil recovery.

Linde also offers nitrogen and carbon dioxide service solutions for EOR pilot and reservoir injectivity tests — the outcome of which will help to determine how well your reservoir will respond to EOR. With the most extensive supply and service capabilities in North America, Linde is well positioned to provide you with an economic and reliable supply of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Furthermore, we have the technical expertise to help design the tests, field operators and equipment needed for optimal outcomes.
