Humble Oil and Refining Co. has successfully used inert gas for 4 yr on a high-pressure attic oil recovery project in S. Louisiana. As a result of this extensive injection test, Humble found that noncorrosive inert gas can be obtained from a combined stream of gas compressor engine exhaust and inert generator gas. The resulting gas can be compressed and injected at pressures to 5,000 psi. Additional oil recovery is essentially the same when injecting inert gas as when injecting natural gas. Gas injection projects are feasible in areas where natural gas supplies are in limited supply. This article described Humble's project, and emphasizes the technique and equipment used to generate the inert gas stream.
