Feed-Gas to Netback Margin Screening
Compare a baseline and an alternative from raw sour feed gas through sweetening, NGL C2+ liquids recovery and sulphur, to sales-gas netback and operating margin.

Screening balance only. Acid gas (H₂S + CO₂), fuel/flare and NGL shrink (2 Mscf/bbl) come off the feed; sales gas at 1.037 MMBtu/Mscf; sulphur from H₂S at 379.5 scf/lbmol. All inputs are DEMO assumptions you can edit.
