Waste Energy Extraction for Smarter & Cleaner Operations

Cuts CO₂ Emissions

• Reduced fuel gas combustion directly lowers your carbon footprint.

Reduces fuel gas consumption 

• Freeing up gas for market instead of onboard power generation.

Increases oil/condensate recovery 

• Near-isentropic expansion provides process cooling that boosts liquid yields.

Enables partial or even full platform electrification 

• In favorable applications, WEX²® can supply a substantial share of, and in some cases all, the installation’s power demand.

Provides operational flexibility 

• Real-time adaptability to optimise production strategies based on commodity prices.

Strengthens redundancy & resilience 

• Uses proven turbo-machinery components, enhancing plant versatility and uptime.

WEX²® is designed for both greenfield and brownfield applications. By converting wasted energy into electrical power, it:

• Regulates flow while feeding electricity into the installation’s grid.
• Utilises both pressure energy and waste heat from the process stream, converting them into clean electricity.
• Provides cooling that can lower seawater lift pump demand and enhance condensate recovery.
• Delivers strong project economics and long-term energy savings, even without CO₂ quota incentives. Recovers energy in recycling applications, including gas export, re-injection, and recompression during late field life.
• In some cases, can generate enough clean electricity to fully electrify installations, eliminating the need for conventional gas turbine power generation.

The result is a broader set of process optimisation opportunities than conventional choke regulation can provide—giving operators a larger toolbox to reduce costs, increase revenue, and strengthen ESG performance.
