An upstream oil and gas operation where the HydroThermIA module was deployed to convert produced water and gas liabilities into onsite hydrogen, directly reducing diesel generator consumption without interrupting continuous field operations.
A deployment with Hocol, part of the Ecopetrol group, applying the same waste-to-hydrogen platform to a major upstream operator's producing assets — validating the technology's fit within large, regulated national oil company environments. This deployment is the most directly comparable reference case for Nigerian upstream assets, given its scale and integration into live oilfield operations.
| Total formation water production | 351,000 barrels of water per day (bwpd) |
| Baseline challenge | High traditional chemical and energetic treatment costs |
| HydroThermIA intervention | Intercepting 17.5% of the water stream (61,425 bwpd) |
| Processing cost after intervention | $0.12 – $0.20 USD per barrel |
| Integration outcome | Integrated seamlessly into existing upstream oil & gas operations |


Applied to a high-temperature industrial kiln process, demonstrating that the platform's hydrogen output can be integrated into demanding industrial heat processes beyond upstream oil and gas.
