Cycling plant

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000942

A facility that processes natural gas to extract liquid hydrocarbons, such as natural gas liquids, while reinjecting the remaining dry gas back into the reservoir. This process maintains reservoir pressure and allows for later recovery of the dry gas. It is often employed in gas condensate reservoirs to maximize liquid recovery.
