Natural gas condensate production well
Natural gas condensate well. View across part of a production site where natural gas condensate is processed. The condensate is associated with natural gas deposits. The condensate is removed from the raw natural gas by cooling below the hydrocarbon dew point. The condensate typically contains hydrocarbons, such as short-chain alkanes and aromatic compounds such as benzene. They normally also contain impurities such as sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide and mercaptans.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of natural gas condensate production at a site in Russia's Yamal-Nenets region. The image showcases a vast industrial landscape, with towering chimneys and horizontal pipework stretching as far as the eye can see. This scene represents the extraction and processing of natural gas condensate, which is closely associated with deposits of raw natural gas. To obtain this valuable resource, the raw natural gas undergoes a cooling process below its hydrocarbon dew point, separating the condensate from other components. The resulting condensate contains various hydrocarbons like short-chain alkanes and aromatic compounds such as benzene. However, it also carries impurities like sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and mercaptans. The Yuzhno-Russkoye plant featured in this photograph plays a crucial role in harnessing these resources efficiently. With an estimated 1 trillion cubic meters of gas reserves in this region alone, it serves as a testament to Russia's significant contribution to global energy production. This image not only highlights the power and scale of industrial operations but also emphasizes our reliance on fossil fuels for energy generation worldwide. It serves as a reminder that responsible extraction practices are essential to mitigate environmental impacts associated with hydrocarbon-based industries. Captured by Science Photo Library, this visually stunning print offers viewers an insight into one aspect of Russia's extensive energy infrastructure without mentioning any specific commercial use or company involved.
