Summary
Gas sweetening – the process of removing foul-smelling mercaptans, toxic hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and carbon dioxide (CO2) from hydrocarbon streams – has become critical for natural gas development, but yet its execution is becoming increasingly complex. As producers contend with increasingly sour reservoirs and stricter environmental requirements, selecting the appropriate fit-for-purpose gas sweetening system while considering a system-wide engineering approach is key to achieving project success.
This success is charted long before construction begins. Engaging in a gas sweetening study allows an owner to take a tactical approach towards evaluating and selecting the best solution that balances integration, operability, and long-term flexibility. In doing so, owners can gain clarity on capital efficiency, lifecycle performance, and understanding project risk.
