Company Credo Promises:

Here at Newpoint Gas, LP we feel it is paramount to maintain credibility in the business community. While other corporations are chasing the dollar and greater profit margins, seemingly at any expense, we feel that profit and solvency is second to credibility in the natural gas treating industry. While this may sound like fanciful rhetoric, it is really the basis of any good business practice and should be adhered too by all those wanting to establish themselves with the community. Some business practices have caught the Nation’s and the media’s attention in the past few years. Given the recent atmosphere of prosecution and retribution created by these shady and even illegal activities, most companies are trying to create and spin new and better images of themselves. Newpoint Gas, LP has, and always will maintain the highest level of credibility and honesty. For this to be possible, each management officer and employee of Newpoint must practice this, not only in the work-place but also in their private lives and personal business dealings. While no one person or company can maintain perfection, they can achieve and maintain an honest reputation. With this in mind, we here at Newpoint Gas, LP vow to maintain the high level of credibility that we have worked so hard to build over the past seven years. Please feel free to visit our corporate offices at 100 Graham Road in College Station, Texas, and meet the management team and engineering staff that make credibility an industry standard.

Unwilling to rest on their laurels with their unprecedented success in the Amine plant treating processes, Newpoint Gas has taken the high-road to innovation with their participation in the methane gas processing project going on in Carbon County, Utah. With compression and an oxygen plant in place, Newpoint has completed the first stage in its continuing effort to reclaim and purify an otherwise non-merchantable product. Despite harsh conditions on site, such as recorded low temperature extremes of -37 degrees, Newpoint remains focused on achieving the completion of stage two, which is the nitrogen rejection process…to further purify this gas stream being marketed down the line at Salt Lake City. This technology and process is not only enabling the mining industry to utilize otherwise lost fuel and revenues, but is also establishing Newpoint Gas, LP as a pro-active participant in the stewardship of our natural resources and environment.

Using a skid-mounted H2S scavenger unit for this project was the logical choice, given the region's unique climate conditions. Newpoint Gas met the challenges presented them by delivering a quality product and superior engineering services. As with all projects accepted by Newpoint Gas, LP, whether foreign or domestic, priority is given to pleasing the customer.

Engineering Ingenuity" in the conservation of our environment remains our highest priority - Newpoint Gas, LP.

Much has been said lately in the popular media about our environment and the results of our care of it for future generations. While some of the information given has been just hype, there remains the true aspect of our responsibility for environmental stewardship. We here at Newpoint Gas, LP are committed to doing our part in preserving our natural resources and our environment: case in point….. Newpoint Gas is actively involved in the reclamation of land and materials in the gas fields of Texas and Arizona, as well as other states. While the “plant salvage” process is not uncommon in the oil and gas industry, Newpoint Gas, LP is committed to the remediation and restoration of once used plant sites. This process not only allows us to reclaim usable equipment and materials, but also gives us the chance to partner with companies and governing entities in the environmental stewardship process. While these projects can be very costly and time consuming, Newpoint feels that the benefits of this reclamation far outweighs the expenditures of time and resources….not that we are in the business of losing money….but that there are some things in this world that are more important than profit margins. Newpoint Gas, LP knows that fanciful rhetoric and even good intentions will not get the job done, but that our commitment to responsible operating in the Gas treating industry, along with our resolve to be partners in stewardship of our natural resources and the environment is the only path that is acceptable.

Two South Texas wells are "sellable" and "safe" after the installation of Newpoint's trade-marked "Skid-treat".

Newpoint Gas, LP recently had the opportunity to service two gas wells in the South Texas area with one of their tried and tested methods for sweetening natural gas streams. Utilizing the sulfa-treat method of contaminate removal, Newpoint was able to successfully reduce the H2S content of both wells, making their gas production sellable and safe. Newpoint Gas has aptly named their method of sulfa-treating for its unit packaging and accessibility. Their trade-marked logo of “Skid-treat” is appearing in more and more states where this method is a viable option. As with all of Newpoint Gas, LP treating methods, Skid-treat remains one of the standard-bearers of the industry.

Newpoint Gas, LP is pleased to announce the shipment of a 1,000 mscfd Trialkylarsine Removal Pilot Plant. This plant is a skid mounted unit with an integral cage to protect it during shipping and is fully self-contained and portable. The plant will be installed on an offshore platform in the Caribbean for a major international gas company. The plant will be able to treat natural gas streams through 2 parallel trains of lead/lag treating vessels. These two trains allow two different treating scenarios to be tested simultaneously with arsenic concentration in excess of 500 ppb w/w at pressures up to 1440 psig. Each treating vessel has 22 sample ports which are tubed to a sampling manifold for ease of use. The results from this pilot plant will be used for verification of the design for the full scale plant that will treat 450 mmscfd.
