As the world pivots towards green and renewable energy sources, natural gas stands out as a clean and efficient alternative. In particular, there has been an upsurge in the exploration and development of gas fields rich in hydrogen sulfide (HS). However, an escalating issue of sulfur deposition is notably pronounced in carbonate rock reservoirs predominantly comprised of dolomite, as exemplified in China's Yuan Ba gas field. This study examines sulfur adsorption in high-sulfur gas reservoirs and its effects on carbonate rock formations. Molecular simulation analysis reveals that the sour natural gas density in 20 Å dolomite nanopore structure experiences an average increase of 30% at the nanoscale. Notably, CO and HS manifested strong adsorption tendencies in smaller pore sizes, with CO's strong adsorption state layer thickness measuring approximately 2.93 Å, and HS's at about 1.871 Å. Additionally, it was found that the adsorption energy of sour natural gas decreases with rising temperature and pore size, and falling pressure, yet the temperature's effect on excess adsorption density is minor above 40 MPa. As the pore size reaches 160 Å, the strong adsorption states of CO and HS dissipate. Beyond 160 Å, the influence of nanoscale dimensions is negligible, with only a 2.23% increase in adsorbed phase density compared to the bulk phase. The introduction of S molecules amplified the adsorption proclivities of CO and HS, urging them closer to the pore wall. The study reveals that CO or HS reinjection into formations could effectively mitigate sulfur deposition in pores smaller than 160 Å, offering valuable insights for the development of high-sulfur gas fields.
