Mericat vs. Merox: Mercaptan Removal Technologies
In refineries and midstream facilities across the U.S. Gulf Coast—including many in the Sugar Land and Houston area—mercaptans (RSH) remain one of the most persistent challenges in producing on-spec gasoline, naphtha, kerosene, jet fuel, and [...]
The Mericat Process
In the refining and midstream sectors of the oil and gas industry, mercaptans (thiols, RSH) are among the most troublesome sulfur compounds. They cause objectionable odors, promote corrosion in equipment and pipelines, fail copper strip [...]
Understanding Mercaptans – Their impact and removal
Mercaptans, also known as thiols, are a class of sulfur-containing organic compounds that play a significant yet troublesome role in the oil and gas industry. These compounds are naturally occurring impurities in crude oil, natural [...]
Natural Gas Forecasts: 2026–2030
Global and North American Perspectives Natural gas continues to play a pivotal role in the global energy mix, bridging the gap between traditional fossil fuels and renewable sources amid rising electricity demand from data centers, [...]
Oil and Gas Production in the Permian Basin: A Comprehensive Overview
The Permian Basin, spanning West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, stands as one of the most prolific hydrocarbon-producing regions in the world. Covering approximately 86,000 square miles, it has been a cornerstone of U.S. energy [...]
The Ideal Gas Velocity in Natural Gas Pipelines for Liquid H₂S Scavenger Injection via Atomizing Nozzles
Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is a naturally occurring, toxic, and corrosive gas commonly found in natural gas streams extracted from reservoirs. Its presence poses significant risks to pipeline integrity, equipment longevity, and human safety, as it [...]
