Abstract:One of the most serious
safety and health concerns during drilling
oil and gas wells is the potential release of hydrogen sulfide (H
2
S) to the surface, exposing workers to high risks. Serious
corrosion-related damage to handling equipment is also inevitable
in the presence of H
2
S. Various H
2
S scavengers
have been utilized, but each has its pros and cons; hence, research
is continuing to develop an optimum and feasible scavenger. Since
