1. A process for gas oil separations, comprising:
feeding an atmospheric gas stream, a low-pressure gas stream, a high-pressure gas stream, and a warmed refrigerant stream to a gas compression plant;
compressing and separating the atmospheric gas stream, low-pressure gas stream, high-pressure gas stream, and warmed refrigerant stream into a compressed gas stream and a condensate stream;
dividing the condensate stream into an export condensate stream and a refrigerant stream; and
chilling the compressed gas stream in a gas dewpoint control plant, via indirect heat exchange with the refrigerant stream, producing the warmed refrigerant stream.
