Sweet gas
Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003727
Natural gas that contains very low concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The absence of these corrosive and toxic compounds makes it safer to handle and transport, and it requires less processing before it can be sold. Gas is considered sweet if its H2S content is below 4 parts per million.
