Abstract
Acid Gas Injection (AGI) has commenced at both Ras<br>Laffan LNG Company Limited's RasGas complex (RasGas<br>AGI) within the Ras Lafan Industrial City, Qatar and at<br>ExxonMobil Production Company's LaBarge Treating Facility<br>(LaBarge AGI) in southwestern Wyoming, United States.<br>Acid gases, nominally consisting of hydrogen sulfide (H2S)<br>and carbon dioxide (CO2), are naturally occurring, nonhydrocarbon<br>gases that can be associated with oil and gas<br>production. The successful commissioning, startup, and<br>operation of these facilities demonstrate feasibility and safe<br>operability of AGI technology to dispose of waste gases on a<br>large scale.
