To anyone, what is the difference in price between sweet and sour gas? The quote site that I use at night :http://www.mrci.com/qpnight.htm (has globex of S&P, Nasdaq, oil , natural gas currency etc). shows that the natural gas has jumped a lot in the last few days to $2.13. It was about $.50 lower no more than 3 weeks ago so hopefully any good news will start to be recognized by the market. TommyD.

Hi teevee,, The Alberta Gas Plant Directory, Volume II 1994-1995 shows that Imperial Oil's Quirk Creek Gas Plant, located in 2-4-21-4W5 is in fact a sour gas processing facility. According to that publication Delta Projects' MCRC Technology (i.e. a sub-dewpoint sulphur recovery process) is incorporated in the process and yields a design sulphur recovery capacity of 307 tonnes/day. Other more current references which I have "spot checked" also indicate the plant to be capable of "sour service". Why do you suggest that this plant is "sweet" ?? Is it unable to handle an H2S concentration of ~29% (expected for 7-25 Devonian gas)?? Later, grayhairs P.S.-- And, what do you mean, "if it is a winner" ?? :-) :-) :-)

Quirk Creek was a sour plant the last time I was there. Additionally, the Mazzeppa plant is closer than Jumping Pound and Pembina also has the Diamond Valley plant right nearby (a few miles). The bottom line is, I wouldn't suspect they are going to have to go very far to tie-in. That area is literally "spagetti'd" with sour gas lines. If they have sweet production, there is no need (in many instances) for it to go through a gas plant at all. Quite often, if the gas is sweet and dry, it can be directed into the collection/sales system with nothing more than compression. Pembina's Camoil compressor being the likely collector. Regards, AL.
