Production ExPRESS^TM rapid production response solutions produced 3,700 bbl/d of oil and >500 Mcf/d of gas during the year it was deployed. A mobile nitrogen stripping column was used as a part of standard well testing setup to bring the high H₂S under control.

A Middle East operator with extensive E&P assets in northern Iraq encountered a challenge when trying to incorporate new wells into the local production stream. The wells presented obstacles because of their high H₂S concentration (4% to 14%). As a result, it was necessary to treat the effluent to obtain a crude compatible with the production facility, which required an export-ready light crude with low H₂S content.

Once installed, the solution enabled production for an entire year until project completion. The express EPF produced a total 3,700 bbl/d of oil and >500 Mcf/d of gas while use of the nitrogen stripping column decreased H₂S content from more than 500 ppm to ~40 ppm. The next step will be an advanced solution that adds a gas incinerator (for green completion) with the gas reinjected into the pipeline.
