Increasing Total Plant Value While Treating Sour Natural Gas

The Diagnosis

Natural gas projects and facilities must increasingly contend with highly complex and uncertain gas compositions in addition to strict compliance standards.

Combining the advantages of physical and amine solvents as well as limiting the number of processing steps through integrated solutions are the first line of defense to treating increasingly sour feeds.

The Discovery

Shell Catalysts & Technologies' Sulfinol-X process enables resource holders to monetise complex gas with certainty and limited capital expenditure. However, major capital projects in today’s climate demand optimal line ups and Shell owner-operator experience is key in identifying and executing opportunities for highly integrated gas processing line-ups that:

• Minimise equipment count and CAPEX
• Reduce OPEX through optimal amine utilisation
• Maximise returns on investment and secure investment
