Various approaches connect wells
to facilities.
... Oil and gas production requires meeting certain product specifications and installing a distribution network.
Oil can be processed at the well site, trucked, or piped to a refinery. But a gas well, unlike an oil well, must be connected into a pipeline transmission system for the product to be sold. There are exceptions, such as if the gas is liquified and transported in pressurized vessels. However, this process has been used in only a few areas of the world.
Identification of a typical gas sales specification is the first step in determining the type of gas processing needed to allow the gas to be transported without liquids or freezing, and in a state that the final consumer can burn cleanly and efficiently. ...
SOUR GAS
Many factors distinguish gas wells.
The most important is H2S {Hydrogen Sulfide, Rotten Egg gas] content.
With H2S, the gas stream must be handled in a different manner than sweet gas because H2S is extremely toxic and lethal in small concentrations. A concentration of 500-700 ppm H2S in the surrounding air can cause a person to lose consciousness and possibly die.
Gas with H2S is also corrosive and causes the associated gas to freeze in the presence of free water at a much higher temperature. ...
