High nitrogenous natural gas

2022

Up to the present, in Poland 2 high nitrogenous natural gas (HNNG) fields characterized by the nitrogen content over 90% have been documented – the Cychry and Sulęcin fields, located in the Polish Lowlands. HNNG is a raw material of a quality good enough for the production of a liquid nitrogen but it is more often used to the adjustment nitrogen content in the natural gas pipelines of the domestic distribution network. However, its utility for the latter purpose is smaller than that of gas from the fields with lower nitrogen content but not smaller than 70%, which are not differentiated as a separate group of HNNG fields.

Above mentioned documented HNNG fields in Poland – Cychry and Sulęcin – occur in the Zechstein Main Dolomite. The total resources of these fields as of the end of 2022 amounted to 14,671.72 million m³. Nowadays, the exploitation is being carried out only from the Cychry field and it was equal 21.11 million m³ in 2022. The chemical composition of gas from the Sulęcin field is as follows: 97.60% of nitrogen, 1.60% of methane, 0.40% of ethane, 0.36% of heavy hydrocarbons and 0.04% of carbon dioxide; whereas gas from the Cychry field contains: 91.00% of nitrogen, 5.20% of methane, 1.30% of ethane and 0.22% of carbon dioxide. The resources of these two fields are presented in Table 1.

2015

Up to the present, two high nitrogenous natural gas (HNNG) fields have been discovered in Poland. These are Cychry and Sulęcin fields, situated in the Polish Lowlands and characterized by nitrogen content over 90%.

Its utility for the latter purpose involves the gas from the fields with nitrogen content not smaller than 70%, which are not differentiated as a separate group of HNNG fields.
