The Shah gas field is a natural gas field in the United Arab Emirates that was discovered in 1967. It began production in 2014 and produces natural gas and condensates. The total proven reserves of the Shah gas field are around 17 trillion cubic feet (4.8×1011 m3) and production is slated to be around 1 billion cubic feet/day (2.8×107 m3/d).[1]
The gas deposits consist of 23% H2S and 10% CO2, making it one of the most sour operational gas fields in the world.[2] Sour gas is defined as gas containing a high proportion of hydrogen sulphide. This environmental pollutant is required to be removed either as solid sulphur for commercial sale, or concentrated sulphide solutions are extracted and re-injected underground.
