Method of producing gas condensate and other reservoirs
This patent describes a process for producing a reservoir comprising: producing a Claus plant effluent stream comprising predominantly carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water, and minor amounts of hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide, from a gaseous stream comprising hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide by the steps of oxidizing a portion of the hydrogen sulfide to sulfur dioxide and reacting thus produced sulfur dioxide with a remaining portion of hydrogen sulfide and producing elemental sulfur which is condensed and removed; hydrogenating substantially all sulfur species in the resulting Claus plant effluent stream to hydrogen sulfide; removing water from the resulting hydrogenated stream; pressurizing the resulting hydrogenated stream to about reservoir injection pressure; and injecting the resulting pressurized dried hydrogenated stream into the reservoir.
