Abstract
The method allows pretreatment of an acid gas that can comprise more than 10% H.sub.2S, for example a natural gas or a gas associated with the production of a crude petroleum effluent. The gas is dehydrated in unit DH, then cooled by heat exchangers E9 to E12 and by expansion carried out through valve V7. Cooling allows part of the H.sub.2S contained in the gas to be condensed. The condensates are separated from the gas in drum B1. The liquid recovered at the bottom of drum B1 is pumped and injected into well P to be sequestered in an underground reservoir or a geologic structure. The gas discharged at the top of drum B1 is depleted in H.sub.2S. This gas is sent through line 43 to a treating site in order to be subjected to additional treatments prior to being used.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
