Nitrogen Pump Units
for Oilfield
In oilfield applications, the nitrogen can only be used as a
high pressure and temperature gas.
The vaporizer system can use any wasted heat from the
pump unit other systems like the diesel engine wasted
heat (Cooling system & Exhaust) and the hydraulic
system wasted heat.

Solution
Calculate the tbg volume in barrels to the WEG.
From Red book : 3.5 “ 7.7 Ibs/ft tbg : 0.00914 bbls/ft is the volume factor
Fluid in Tbg
0.00914 bbls/ft x 5,000 ft = 47.7 bbls & Annulus
8.5 PPG Sea
Water
Now calculate the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid at the point you wish to displace it to.
(BHP)
BHP = 5000 ft depth x 8.5 PPG x 0.052 = 2,210 psi

INTERPOLATING LOOK AT SECT 4 PAGE 13 SAMPLE PROBLEM No 2
• The calculation of the WHP and the gas volume factor (V’/V) require 2 numbers – the DEPTH & the BHP
• The depth (5000 Ft) is conveniently on the chart, the BHP (2210 psi) is not.
• Therefore will have to interpolate the BHP 2210 psi.
• To do this we will have to interpolate between the nearest BHP columns 2000 & 2500 psi
2210
INTERPOLATING SAMPLE PROBLEM No 2
• We are trying to work out the well head pressure for a given bottom hole
pressure. 2000 2210 2500
100% (500)
• The BHP has been calculated as 2210 psi – which falls between 2000 &
2500 psi.
44% (210)
• The difference between 2000 & 2500 psi is 500 psi is 100% of the
difference. We need to know what PERCENTAGE 2210 psi represents so
we can create a factor.
• First we to know the difference between 2210 psi and the lowest other
value 2000 psi. Which is 2210 – 2000 = 210 psi
• Using the full equation to work out the factor or percentage of 2210
2210 – 2000 210 = 0.442 (or 44%)
2500 – 2000 500
2210
• Therefore the difference factor for 2210 psi, between 2500 & 2000 psi
is 0.442
INTERPOLATING SAMPLE PROBLEM No 2
0.442 (44%)
• To interpolate between the two do the following:
WHP = max WHP – min WHP x actual BHP – min BHP + min WHP
max BHP – min BHP
WHP = max WHP – min WHP x actual BHP – min BHP + min WHP
max BHP – min BHP
WHP = 2139 psi – 1707 psi x 2210 psi - 2000 psi + 1707 psi
2500 psi – 2000 psi
2210
V’/V = 805 – 624 scf/bbl x 2210 psi - 2000 psi + 624 scf/bbl
2500 psi – 2000 psi
