Reasons for Hydrocarbon Recovery
Field Operations▪ Reduce liquid content of high GPM gases in gathering systems
▪ Eliminate or reduce potential for condensation (dew-pointing)
▪ Reduce Btu content of gas for use in engines (fuel conditioning)
Plant Operations▪ Reduce Sales gas Btu content to spec (950 to 1150 Btu/scf)
▪ Eliminate possible condensation
▪ Recover valuable C2+ liquids

What is the GPM of a gas?▪ Gallons of NGL components per 1000 scf (Mscf) of gas
▪ Either C2+ GPM or C3+ GPM

External Refrigeration
When inlet pressures to Hydrocarbon Recovery are too low to provide required cooling by expansion we can obtain additional refrigeration by:
▪ Compressing inlet gas to higher pressure
▪ Compressing propane in refrigeration cycle
Compressing propane is usually the best choice

High C2+ Recovery
Requires cryogenic separation
Processes involve:▪ Propane refrigeration (unless high inlet gas pressure)
▪ Multipass heat exchangers (gas-gas)
▪ Expansion, turbo and JT
▪ Demethanizer column
Two processes:▪ “1st Generation” – simplest
▪ Gas Subcooled Process (GSP) – more efficient, higher recoveries and commonly used

Summary
Primary liquids’ production from cold separation▪ Produced gas at dew point condition at last conditions in contact with
hydrocarbon liquid
Lower liquid content of produced gas has a lower dew point requiring lower temperatures
Propane refrigeration loop▪ Typical low temperatures to -40oF
▪ Intermediate pressures reduce compression power & can make chilling temperatures about 10oF
