Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a system and method of treating a flow back fluid exiting a well site following stimulation of a subterranean formation. The invention utilizes a two-stage membrane process during the period that the gas contains high concentrations of CO2 by volume, and allows for separation of CO2 from the natural gas components, providing pipeline-quality natural gas (approximately 5% CO2 by volume) to the gas collection system.
