DEHYDRATION COMPRESSION
DEHYDRATION‐COMPRESSION

• Reinjection of associated gas produced (Often Referred 
to as Blood, Guts, and Feathers {BGF})
to as Blood, Guts, and Feathers {BGF})
– Compression and usually dehydration

• Reinjection
Reinjection of associated gas stream coupled with C
of associated gas stream coupled with C4+ 
+
extraction for sales
– Compression, dehydration, rough hydrocarbon cut, CO
p , y , g y , 2 removal

• Processing of the associated gas stream into C2+ for 
sales and CO2 for reinjection
j
– Compression, dehydration, hydrocarbon recovery (distillation, CO2
membranes, etc.)

 Gas Handling Dehydration
Gas Handling ‐

• Purpose of dehydration 
is to eliminate potential 
corrosion caused by the

presence of free water 
and CO2
and CO
• Use TEG to decrease 
water content in gas 
stream to 25 lb/MMscf 
or less
