A method of reducing emissions associated with hydrogen (H2) production includes producing a syngas stream comprising H2, CO, CO2, H2O, and unreacted CH4 using a steam methane reformer (SMR). A water-gas shift (WGS) process reacts residual H2O in the syngas stream with CO to form additional H2 and CO2 and thereby produce a shifted syngas stream having less H2O, more H2, and more CO2 than the syngas stream. The shifted syngas stream is provided to a first facilitated transport membrane (FTM), such that CO2 of the shifted syngas stream permeates across the first FTM to produce a first CO2 stream at a permeate side of the first FTM and a CO2-depleted shifted syngas stream at a retentate side of the first FTM. A second gas separation process removes H2 from the CO2-depleted shifted syngas to produce an H2 product stream and a tail gas stream.

Some examples herein provide a method of processing a feedstock. The feedstock may be flowed into a reactor. A catalyst may be flowed into the reactor. Within the reactor, the feedstock may be converted over the catalyst, at an average reaction temperature, to a product stream. The product stream may be withdrawn from the reactor. A stream of the catalyst may be withdrawn from the reactor. Said stream of the catalyst may be heated to a temperature above the average reaction temperature without exposing the catalyst to any air or other oxidants. The heated stream of catalyst may be returned to the reactor at a temperature higher than the reaction temperature, to obtain the average reaction temperature within the reactor.

SEISMIC-STRATIGRAPHIC VALIDATION FOR SUBSURFACE MODELING
A subsurface representation of a subsurface region is generated section by section from the base section to the top section. Seismic characteristics in a section of the subsurface representation are simulated, and the simulated seismic characteristics are compared with seismic characteristics in a corresponding section of the subsurface region to validate the section of the subsurface representation. Once a section of the subsurface representation is validated, the next/overlying section of the subsurface representation is generated. The underlying section provides one or more boundary conditions to constrain generation of the overlying section.
