What XRG Technologies does

XRG Technologies is a Tulsa, Oklahoma-based engineering firm founded in 2016 that specializes in fired and unfired heat transfer equipment for the refining, petrochemical, and power generation industries. The company concentrates expertise across burners, process heaters, boilers, flares, and catalytic cracking reactors — a portfolio it describes as unique in bringing all of these disciplines under one roof. It serves operators and licensors worldwide, with a service mix spanning engineering studies, CFD modeling, environmental and energy transition consulting, field services, and training.

The company's core proprietary technology is Xceed, a patent-pending dispersed combustion platform introduced in November 2021 and commercially deployed in March 2023 at VPR Energy/Vitol in a world-first application. Additional offerings include the Xtend platform and Observation Doors product line. Leadership credentials are central to the technical offering: the CTO holds 30+ years of industry experience, 8 patents, co-authorship of API 535 and API 12K standards, and an API subcommittee seat; the Lead Scientist holds 27 patents and Honeywell Fellow status. The firm achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification in October 2022.

XRG's business model is project-based, combining specialized engineering services (studies, CFD, field work) with capital equipment sales (Xceed, Observation Doors) and emerging energy transition consulting. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise relationships with refiners, petrochemical operators, and increasingly IOC/NOC-tier clients — anchored by a flagship April 2025 partnership with TotalEnergies and prior engagements with Vitol/VPR Energy, BayoTech, and Zeeco. In October 2025 the company opened a European office in Amsterdam, its first geographic expansion outside North America.
