Generon touts NPU use in oil and gas drilling
Robert A. Downey of Energy Ingenuity Co outlines NPU development for high pressure surface control and its shift to oil and gas. NPUs drilled 100 plus wells in multiple regions in late 1994 with over 50 companies adopting the technology. 14 NPUs are available for lease at about $1,000 per day. The system can purge pipelines, maintain reservoir pressure, purge coal bed methane, and serve as an CO2 alternative for enhanced oil recovery. Generon plans maintenance yards and a Permian Basin launch.
