    HOUSTON — ChampionX and Gold H2 (GH2) are collaborating on field trials of GH2's new hydrogen production technology.

    The partnership initially began in early November.

    GH2's subsurface microbiology solutions use the power of microorganisms to enable in-situ hydrogen production from depleted or uneconomical oil reservoirs, known as Gold Hydrogen. 

    ChampionX says it complements GH2 with its services and chemical technologies that are designed to optimize and enhance production from oil and gas reservoirs. 

    The collaboration between GH2 and ChampionX aims to drive innovation in applied microbiology and oil and gas operations. The partners say GH2’s novel technology, complemented with ChampionX’s production expertise, provides a strong foundation for testing this technology.

    A GH2 representative told Offshore, "Technically speaking, GH2 technology is just as applicable offshore as it is onshore. However, due to logistics, we are limiting our focus to onshore for the time being and will expand to offshore applications once we have further validated the technology."
