Applications
Fracturing for Unconventional Oil and Gas
Nitrogen gas fracking is used for water-sensitive, shallow, and brittle shale formations because it prevents clay swelling that would otherwise be caused by water-based treatments. Air Products supplies nitrogen for fracturing fluids that can provide performance and cost advantages over water-based fluids in certain formations.
Pipeline Services
Air Products offers a responsive, reliable source of nitrogen for plant turnarounds and pipeline services
Well Completions
We offer a responsive, reliable source of the nitrogen you need for fracturing, coil tubing, jetting, snubbing, and other oil and gas well completion needs
