Abstract

A method for recovering associated gaseous hydrocarbons from a well for producing liquid hydrocarbons, the method comprising (i) providing gaseous hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon well; (ii) providing a cryogenic liquid from an air separation unit or an associated nitrogen liquefaction facility within proximity of the hydrocarbon well; (iii) liquefying the gaseous hydrocarbons at a hydrocarbon liquefaction facility within proximity to the hydrocarbon well to thereby produce a liquefied hydrocarbon gas, where heat associated with the gaseous hydrocarbons is transferred to the cryogenic liquid; and (iv) transferring the liquefied hydrocarbon gas to an air separation unit or nitrogen liquefaction facility.
