A gas-oil separation plant (GOSP) system includes a crude inlet line extending to a separation vessel where a sour gas stream may be separated from an inlet fluid stream. The GOSP system provides an H2S membrane system where the sour gas stream may be directed for separation of H2S and an electrolyzer where H2 may be separated from the H2S. The GOSP system also includes a combustion gas turbine where an exhaust containing CO2 is produced and a CO2 membrane system where the CO2 may be separated from the exhaust. The H2 and CO2 may be combined and reacted in a Sabatier reactor to produce CH4 and H2O. The CH4 may be used to fuel the combustion gas turbine and the H2O may be directed to a steam head for use in other processes. Additionally, a sweetened gas stream having the H2S removed may be exported by the GOSP system.
