Hi guys,

Just an update on this. Actually went and did it. Still waiting on the Turbine guys to fix some of their electrical issues before we can fire up. 1% Sour. Fingers crossed.

Will come back to post again once it's purring.

Got another 1.5 MW of load to deploy, containers being built. Looking for gas + gen.

Pretty cool, best of luck on this. It’s funny reading past posts on Iron Bridge (RMP) saying that if they can’t make it work you couldnt. Everyone that worked for that company was a bunch of hacks and had no clue how to run a profitable O&G company let alone implementing new technology. Their head commercial person had a main job of selling coffee in a pyramid scheme and did RMP as a side-gig.

Did you buy your own wells or partner with an operator? How is the royalty side of this being handled for the gas that is used for power generation? There are a lot of “fly by night” guys setting these type of small operations up down in Texas right now hoping to make a buck.

From my understanding there is a ton of machines available worldwide right now due to China’s recent fight against Bitcoin. My thought on this was always that partnering with a midstreamer and setting up some serious computing power next to a gas plant made the most sense to make this work financially and manage the legal issues with the use of gas and royalties.

This is fucking awesome. It's great to see a situation where someone not only has an idea, but the actual execution.

Really impressive.

Interested on if the 1% sour has any effect on the outcome.

I have 3 other companies asking and wanting to have an economic eval run.
It's trying to convince the purse string holders to try this.

^It will if they needed to but they didn't design for sour service piping...

Why do you say that? Because of the threaded connections? Looks like a mix of piping classes too (different flange/valve ratings).

This is nest though, way to follow through. a guy actually asked me if we did anything like this last week at golf. TheMack89 if you need help on the engineering side(O&G specific I don’t know anything about computers lol) PM me.

Metallurgy selection. I don't know what the cutoff for "sour service" but 1% sounds a long way from sweet.
Truly defined sour service corrodes the shit out of normal pipe and I think it also causes hydrogen embrittlement.

1% Sour is plenty sour.

Not critically sour. But FAR from trace.

[JPB]

NACE Standard MR0175-2003 is anything over 0.05 psi partial pressure is sour service for piping materials. So as long as this is running under 5 psi he is golden.

Oh, and anything over 20 ppm I would be recommending monitoring, alarms, and personal gas detectors.

[prae]

this is freakin' cool. good for you.

What's normal pipe to you? haha

In terms of power production no, but exhaust and metallurgy - big yes.

I’m curious to see what they’re doing for tailpipe emissions, burning produced gas in a facility requires stack emissions reduction such as lime injection.

Maybe this is small enough scale?? Not sure

isn't the STEL on sour gas only 15ppm? with the 8hr limit at 1ppm?

I'd get monitors if there was anything over 1ppm and probably have supplied air on site incase of a leak

H2S is fun

[schurchill39]

I'm having anxiety just thinking of the H2S Flare modeling (even though I should probably whore myself out to do it as a side gig *shudders*)

[ExtraSlow]

some of this sounds like real engineering. Gross.

Haha right?

If It can't be done on powerpoint, I'm not interested.
