Fossil Bay to Provide Exhaust Gas Injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery

Enhanced oil recovery service provider Fossil Bay Energy LLC has signed a deal that will allow the company to help producers get new oil from old oil fields.

The company announced Jan. 15 that it has entered into a license agreement with Weatherford Technology Holdings LLC for the exclusive right in the United States to make, use and sell exhaust gas handling equipment that incorporates three Weatherford patents in the field of use of oil and gas reservoir injection and pressurization applications.

Fossil Bay’s portable CO2 enhanced oil recovery process eliminates the need for pipeline-supplied CO2 because its mobile CO2/N2 gas-injection units produce exhaust gas directly at the wellhead. This enables CO2 “huff and puff” and CO2 gas flooding with Nitrogen drive to become an economically viable and available option for thousands of enhanced oil recovery-worthy oil fields worldwide.
