Chart Industries, Inc. GTLS recently secured a contract from Blue Spruce Operating LLC to provide its Nitrogen Rejection Unit (NRU) and helium process technology and associated equipment. GTLS’ specialized technology offerings will be used for the Dry Piney Helium and Carbon Sequestration Project in Sublette County, WY.
Chart Industries recently completed the front-end engineering and design work of the NRU and helium plant project. The project, expected to be completed in the next two years, will be engaged in producing helium and other valuable products.
GTLS’ cryogenic processing and technologies will enable Blue Spruce to separate and liquefy helium to purity grade for sale to its customers. Once operational, the Dry Piney Project will be capable of producing more than 800 million cubic feet of bulk liquid helium per year. The plant will also likely produce about 80 MMcfpd of natural gas and remove 4.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.
This will strengthen Blue Spruce’s position as a leading supplier of bulk liquid helium and natural gas in the western U.S. Opal Hub market.
Other Notable Deals
In January 2025, Chart Industries secured a global master goods and services deal from Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) equipment, technology and services. Per the deal, GTLS will provide cold boxes and its proprietary IPSMR (Integrated Pre-Cooled Single Mixed Refrigerant) process technology to Exxon Mobil.
The two companies will create a single design and develop various versions to improve cost, schedule and quality for LNG projects worldwide. This partnership builds on GTLS’ prior work with Exxon Mobil on the Mozambique LNG project. It highlights their ongoing collaboration to enhance LNG production capabilities in many regions.
Also, in May 2024, Chart Industries secured an order from Repsol to provide its advanced Howden hydrogen compression solutions for the expansion project of Repsol’s Sines industrial complex in Portugal.
