Helium Sponge

Tue, 29 Nov 2011 04:07:11 GMT

So you don't understand why helium is so valuable? You're not alone, few people do. If you're a natural gas producer and you're not recovering and selling the helium from your gas, you could be passing up a real and considerable value - the type of value that can provide lift to a project's economics when methane prices founder. IACX has the only known technology that can economically extract and purify helium from natural gas non-cryogenically and to high purities. Click this link to read IACX's 2009 press release about its Kansas helium operation (pictured here) - the world's smallest, economically viable helium facility for natural gas applications. **NEW** November 18, 2011 Helium to Move from Byproduct to Primary Drilling Target, by RigZone IACX contibuted to this article. It's a good story about the prospective for helium exploration - as a primary product (not just a byproduct to natural gas) WFAA (Channel 8, Dallas Texas) - May 18,...

Geological Studies & Resources

Tue, 03 May 2011 17:33:51 GMT

The folks at IACX are steeped in the tradition of the Exploration & Production Industry. We've prospected before, and we'll probably prospect again. In this page, we will post studies, poster sessions or any other information, from time to time, that may be of interest to the studious prospector. While we don't warrant any of the information within these studies, we are able to say that we found them to be well researched, thoroughly documented, thought provoking and worthy of sharing. YATES GAS STUDIES (West Texas - Permian Basin) These studies were provided to IACX by the University of Texas - Bureau of Economic Geology, in the form of poster sessions. IACX reformatted these posters to 8.5 by 11 format for ease-of-review purposes. Aside from matters of reformatting, these studies are unabridged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sun, 01 May 2011 14:35:49 GMT

This Page will continue to grow. Check back from time to time. Q: Does IACX work on alternative gas applications, such as landfill or digester gas? A: We'll consider it. We have tested our process on an operating Waste Management landfill in Mississippi and were successful in removing 40% CO2 to <2%, as well as virtually all of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including siloxanes. The one observation that gave us pause was the drastically variable composition of the gas on an intraday basis. In such an event, meeting a rigid pipeline specification would be problematic. Therefore, we'll only consider closed system landfills. Digester gas applications generally have more appeal to us because the composition of the gas typically remains fairly constant. We will be happy to take a look at any such applications... as long as the inquiring entity is a principal in the project. Q: Why can't my company BUY a Nitrogen/CO2/Helium Sponge instead of leasing or...

PSA System

Sat, 30 Apr 2011 14:58:17 GMT

IACX’s processing assets are non-cryogenic, non-chemical, and non-hazardous. They are configured to separate low-pressure, low-volume streams of hydrocarbon gas that are naturally contaminated with nitrogen or CO2 and water vapor. Because our assets are mobile, IACX is able to consider a wide array of projects that were otherwise condemned as uneconomic. "Start Small but don't Stay Small" is the IACX mantra, and it is our goal to eliminate multi-million dollar "bets on the come" on reserves that may or may not exist. Our Customers are able to evaluate uncertain reserves before they contemplate a more aggressive exploitation program, and then, are able to cash flow these projects as they're being drilled or developed.

Nitrogen Sponge

Mon, 20 Sep 2010 03:16:26 GMT

IACX Energy's Nitrogen Sponge cleans nitrogen-contaminated natural gas at low-pressures and volumes, making an otherwise unsellable product sellable. Our non-cryogenic, environmentally friendly Sponge units are small scaled, mobile and guaranteed to work, even with the most stringent sales line specifications. Whether your natural gas is laden with 40% nitrogen or just 4%, the Sponge will sweeten it with only minimal hydrocarbon losses. Each unit is controlled by programmable logic controller that can be accessed from any computer, allowing the producer to know the exact operating conditions, day or night. An IACX representative will maintain its assets and oversee all operations, though only minimal oversight is required. Whether you are looking to sweeten 300MCF/D or 5MMCF/D, the Nitrogen Sponge could be your best solution for a difficult problem.

CO2 Sponge

Sat, 07 Aug 2010 06:31:40 GMT

IACX's CO2 Sponge provides a clean, safe, and easily operated alternative to conventional amine treating, especially at lower volumes and pressures. The processing medium for the CO2 Sponge consists of inert carbon pellets that physically (not chemically) draws the CO2 away from the hydrocarbons (adsorption). There is no corrosion, no VOC emissions, no mess, requires only limited oversight and has extremely high (97%) hydrocarbon recoveries. Sponge units are equipped with programmable logic controllers that automatically adjusts the process to accomodate varying operating conditions. While CO2 Sponge units are not for sale, IACX will work diligently with producers to arrange a compensation plan that will accommodate the desired need. Be it in the form of a lease, a percentage of proceeds or a joint-venture arrangement, an IACX transaction will embody a spirit of cooperation with producers. If the CO2 Sponge is not right for your application, we'll point you in the right...

The IACX Promise

Sat, 07 Aug 2010 05:05:14 GMT

We promise to put forth every effort to treat our customers the way we like to be treated.

From a quality standpoint, our Nitrogen, CO2 and Helium Sponges exceeds industry standards for parts and manufacturing and are backed with guaranteed performance. We will not waste your time. We respect the fact that our mode of processing will not fit every application, and if our processing style doesn't fit your needs, we will point you in the right direction. Our typical customers are independent oil and gas producers who prefer not to allocate resources to plant operations and/or other midstream activities. We aspire to remove the headaches (and heartaches) associated with nitrogen rejection and CO2 removal so that the producer can allocate their resources to their core competency – finding more gas!

About IACX

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 15:51:47 GMT

IACX Energy was formed in December 2006 by the principals of Inter-American Corporation (Dallas, Texas) and Haddington Ventures, LLC (Houston, Texas) for the purpose of deploying a first-of-its-kind fleet of small-to-medium sized nitrogen rejection and CO2 removal assets into areas heretofore labeled by generations of gas Producers as being uneconomic due to nitrogen or CO2 contamination. IACX brings an intriguing slate of upstream E&P and midstream expertise to Producers facing multiple issues involving the gathering, processing, treating and sale of nitrogen/CO2 laden gas. IACX engineers have developed and deployed innovative PSA systems, specifically involving gaseous hydrocarbon separation from inert gases, which have led to nine patents and two pending. Never satisfied with its own innovations, IACX principals have always and will continue to seek out new and better ways to simplify and economize its gas separation processes - to the ultimate benefit of our customers. And if it...

Joint Venture Information

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 15:50:13 GMT

If you have a project that is ready to go, but the prospect of committing to a term service contract makes you uneasy, IACX will consider joint venture opportunities. In these cases, IACX reviews the merits of your project and if it meets an internal investment criteria, IACX will enter into a mutually acceptable joint venture or percentage-of-proceeds agreement defining the four corners of the project. In exchange for IACX providing its processing assets and operational oversight to the project, a predescribed split of the proceeds would occur at the sales line. In such a transaction, IACX interests are directly aligned with those of the producer (IACX doesn't make a nickel unless the producer does).

The more information you have on a project, the quicker and easier it will be for IACX to evaluate it. If a confidentiality agreement is necessary, please make this known to IACX before materials are sent. IACX will cheerfully consider reasonably defined areas of confidentiality.
