| In underbalanced operations, large volumes of nitrogen may be required. N2 costs can be significant, and should be carefully analyzed. NITRO is a cost model that analyzes N2 expenses for underbalanced operations and determines which method is less expensive: cryogenic or membrane-generated. It can also calculate the sensitivity of cost to changes in various parameters.

NITRO compares the costs over time for cryogenic and membrane N2 and the point at which they are equal.
Overall cost of liquid N2 is compared for ranges of flow rates and number of drilling days.
Sensitivity analysis shows the impact of changes in several parameters.
