Mercury in Crude Oil & Natural Gas (MCO&NG)

The content of MCO&NG depends on many factors,

such as: regionaltectonic position, geologic-
structural features of the deposit, the operation
conditions and seismic activity. Also, presence of
MCO&NG varies in each stage of operations and
processing of crude oil and natural gas. Mercury
causes a wide range of problems during the
operations and processing, as for example:
equipment damage, toxic waste generation, health
impacts and environmental degradation. There are
different kinds of technologies used to remove
MCO&NG.
