Natural Gas Production & Delivery
Natural gas processing can be complex and usually involves several processes, or stages, to remove oil, water, HGL, and other impurities such as sulfur, helium, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide. The composition of the wellhead natural gas determines the number of stages and the processes required to produce pipeline-quality dry natural gas. These stages and processes may be integrated into one unit or operation, be performed in a different order or at alternative locations (lease/plant), or not be required at all.
