A patented process for cleaner crude.
In partnership with VIRO Petroleum & Energy, R|H Worldwide brings a patented method for agitating hydrogen sulfide out of sour crude oil — engineered for safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness across the oil and gas value chain.
Sour crude is dangerous, costly, and everywhere.
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in sour crude oil is toxic, corrosive, and expensive to manage. Conventional removal methods are slow, hazardous, or cost-prohibitive — leaving vast reserves underutilized and forcing operators to absorb significant safety and processing costs.
R|H Worldwide and VIRO Petroleum & Energy have developed and patented a process that agitates H2S out of sour crude using inert gas and a reliable airborne H2S filter — addressing the problem in real time, at a fraction of the cost.
Safer, faster, and more cost-effective.
Safety First
The process uses inert gas and a reliable H2S airborne filter, minimizing worker exposure to one of the most dangerous compounds in oil production.
Real-Time Results
H2S challenges are addressed as they occur, ensuring timely and efficient processing without the delays of conventional treatment methods.
Cost-Effective
Significantly reduces the expense associated with H2S removal, contributing to overall operational efficiency and unlocking previously uneconomic reserves.
A proven, patented three-stage process.
Rigorously tested and proven effective in real-world scenarios, the process adapts to a range of oil industry settings — from upstream extraction through to refining.
Agitate
Inert gas is introduced to agitate and separate hydrogen sulfide from the sour crude oil, safely initiating the removal process.
Filter
A reliable airborne H2S filter captures the separated hydrogen sulfide, preventing release and protecting personnel and equipment.
Deliver
Cleaner, lower-H2S crude is delivered downstream — reducing corrosion, processing costs, and safety risk across operations.
A massive, proven reserve base.
Texas alone holds an estimated $27 billion in proven H2S-saturated oil reserves — reserves that conventional methods have left difficult and expensive to process.
A safer, more cost-effective removal process directly addresses this gap, with applications spanning upstream extraction, midstream handling, and downstream refining.
