Understanding H₂S and Its Dangers Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) is a highly toxic, corrosive, and flammable gas often found in crude oil and natural gas reservoirs. It is considered a sour gas and poses multiple risks: Risk Type Impact Health Hazard H₂S is lethal even at low concentrations (as low as 100 ppm). Corrosion It reacts with water to form sulfuric acid, causing internal corrosion in pipes and equipment. Operational Downtime Requires shutdown and evacuation if levels exceed safety thresholds. Environmental and Regulatory Risk Releases are strictly regulated and monitored. 2. Traditional Challenges in H₂S Management Challenge Description Delayed Detection Manual gas testing leads to slow responses. Non-continuous Monitoring Spot testing cannot identify transient spikes or leaks. Remote Locations Many oilfields and wells ar...
