Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006062595A1] A method for hydrocarbon processing is provided. In one or more embodiments, the method includes splitting a hydrocarbon stream comprising natural gas and acid gas into a first stream and a second stream. Alternatively, the first stream and second stream may be provided from other sources. The first stream is processed to remove a portion of the acid gas therefrom, thereby producing a third stream comprising the acid gas removed from the first stream and a fourth stream comprising less than 100 ppm of sulfur-containing compounds. The second stream is combined with the third stream to provide a combined stream, which is compressed and reinjected into a subterranean reservoir.
