“If it was piped up to a gas processing plant, this would no longer be an issue.”
Which brings back to the orginal problem that there are no pipelines. Depending on the gas perhaps processing of of the unwanted products could also be done on a small scale in the field. I understand that there would be a lot of variables as to if it would be feasable in a particular field or not.
I don't think so. I've done work for a samll and large gas processing facility. Separating out the other components requires you to do something with almost all of the components. And the smaller the processing equipment, the less efficient that typically becomes. They require energy themselves. It would be just as more cost effective to run some low pressure HDPE pipe as to bring in electrical power lines and the scatter around processing equipment.
The problem with trying to scale down these processes that are outlined in the diagram a few posts up is that those processes require significant power to produce the compression of the gas prior to those illustrated processes. There is really no way to scale down the large engines that have the torque to drive the compressors thru multiple stages that produce the required pressures and temperatures. The size of the plants mean there are certain economies that have to be achieved in volume, capacity, and time.
