Abstract
Raw natural gas from production wells contains a full range of hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen, water, and other impurities. They can originate from any one of three types of production wells: crude oil wells, gas wells, and condensate wells. Raw natural gas can also come from unconventional sources. These gas reservoirs are believed to be much larger than previous prediction. As technology in exploration and drilling advances, the unconventional reserves are becoming economically attractive and will become an important source of energy supply. The objective of a natural gas processing plant is to produce a methane-rich gas by removing the acid gases, heavy hydrocarbons, nitrogen, water, and other impurities. This chapter gives an overview of the design and function of the different process units within a natural gas processing plant.
