Oil and gas wells produce a mixture of hydrocarbon gas, condensate or oil; water with dissolved minerals, usually including a large amount of salt; other gases, including nitrogen, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), and possibly hydrogen sulfide (H 2S); and solids, including sand from the reservoir, dirt, scale, and corrosion products from the tubing. Production is the process of extracting the hydrocarbons and separating the mixture of liquid hydrocarbons, gas, water, and solids, removing the constituents that are non-saleable, and selling the liquid hydrocarbons and gas. Production sites often handle crude oil from more than one well. Natural-gas processing is a complex industrial process designed to clean raw natural gas by separating impurities and various non-methane hydrocarbons and fluids to produce what is known as pipeline quality dry natural gas. Natural-gas processing begins at the well head. This process, called hydraulic fracturing or fracking, and sometimes referred to as unconventional production, breaks up the formation, releases the natural gas from the rock, and allows the natural gas to flow to and up wells to the surface. At the top of the well on the surface, natural gas is put into gathering pipelines and sent to natural Oil and Condensate Removal In order to process and transport associated dissolved natural gas, it must be separated from the oil in which it is dissolved. This separation of natural gas from oil is most often done using equipment installed at or near the wellhead.
Just like oil, natural gas is the result of the transformation of organic substances deposited at the bottom of ancient seas and lakes (sedimentary basins). Therefore,

Total SA and its partners have made a new natural gas and condensates discovery with the Fire halts ethylene production at Lotte Chemical's Daesan complex Processing of oil and gas from Skogul will take place on Alvheim FPSO.
Natural gas and oil can then flow up the well to the surface, along with “flowback fluid” – consisting of varying proportions of the injected fluids, and other liquids from the shale layer such as salt-saturated water, drilling muds, or brine. As a result, the range of separation process requirements for oil and gas extraction now includes: • The preparation of drilling muds; • The separation of solid particles, gases and other liquids from underground crude oil; • The purification of underground natural gas free from particles, liquids (mainly oil and water), and other gases; Natural gas is principally methane, with smaller amounts of other alkanes, ethane, propane and the butanes. As with liquid oil, the composition of natural gas varies from field to field. In some fields, methane may make up 98% of the gas and it is known as dry natural gas.

Raw natural gas is mostly made of methane, but also contains a large number of other hydrocarbon gases. The first stage is to remove acid gases by amine or membrane treatment. This acid is usually processed into sulfur products.
