Natural gas containing relatively large amounts of sulfur/sulfur compounds. Sour gas is commonly found in deep, hot, high pressure natural gas deposits, such as those in the eastern slopes and foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta and northeastern British Columbia.
Natural gas that has a high concentration of H2S.
gas containing an appreciable quantity of hydrogen sulfide and/or mercaptans.
A natural gas containing Hydrogen sulfide. (H2S)
Natural gas that contains corrosive sulfur bearing compounds such as H2S or mercaptans.
A byproduct mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons that contains hydrogen sulphide.
Natural gas containing significant quantities of hydrogen sulphide.
(SWR 79) Any natural gas containing more than 1-1/2 grains of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic feet or more than 30 grains of total sulfur per 100 cubic feet, or gas which in its natural state is found by the Commission to be unfit for use in generating light or fuel for domestic purposes.
Natural gas containing significant amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Requires special material treatments to avoid failures from sulfide corrosion cracking.
A gaseous environment containing hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide in hydrocarbon reservoirs. Prolonged exposure to sour gas can lead to hydrogen damage, sulfide-stress cracking, and/or stress-corrosion cracking in ferrous alloys.
Contain large amounts of hydrogen sulphide or sulphur. In order to become sweet gas, the sulphur must be removed.
Natural gas containing chemical impurities, notably hydrogen sulfide or other sulfur compounds that make it extremely harmful to breathe even small amounts.
an acid natural gas with a significant amount of hydrogen sulphide (the same chemical that makes rotten eggs smell so bad); in Canada, commonly found in the west, e.g. in the Alberta gas fields.
natural gas with a high sulphur content, which requires treatment before use.
Natural or associated gas with a high sulphur content.
Raw natural gas with a relatively high concentration of sulphur compounds, such as hydrogen sulphide. All natural gas containing more than one per cent hydrogen sulphide is considered sour. About 30 per cent of Canada’s natural gas production is sour, most of it found in Alberta and northeastern British Columbia.
Gaseous fuel which contains a relatively large proportion of sulfur or sulfur compounds. See the discussion on Sulfide Stress Cracking in the Technical Section.
Natural gas containing significant amounts of sulphur or sulphur compounds like hydrogen sulphide; must be purified before use as sweet gas.
Gas with a relatively high content of sulphur compounds
Raw natural gas that must be treated to remove H S, CO, NGLs and water in order to meet sales quality specifications.
Natural gas at the wellhead may contain hydrogen sulphide (H2S), a toxic compound. Natural gas that contains more than 1 per cent of H2S is called sour gas. About 30 per cent of Canada's total natural gas production is sour, most of it found in Alberta and northeast British Columbia.
