The invention relates to a process for producing a helium-enriched vapor stream, a methane- enriched vapor stream, and a liquid stream enriched in hydrocarbons heavier than methane from a pressurized, multicomponent, multiphase stream comprising methane (C1), helium (He) and hydrocarbons heavier than methane (C2+). The process includes cooling the multiphase stream to produce at least one vapor stream enriched in helium and at least one liquid stream, withdrawing at least a portion of the at least one vapor stream as a helium- enriched product stream, passing at least a portion of the at least one liquid stream to a demethanizer, withdrawing from the demethanizer a vapor enriched in methane (C1), and withdrawing from the demethanizer a liquid enriched in hydrocarbons heavier than methane (C2+).

Linvention concerne un processus de production dun courant de vapeur enrichi en hélium, dun courant de vapeur enrichi en méthane et dun courant de liquide enrichi en hydrocarbures plus lourds que le méthane à partir dun courant de phases multiples, à plusieurs composants, sous pression comprenant du méthane (C1), de lhélium (He) et des hydrocarbures plus lourds que le méthane (C2+). Le processus consiste à refroidir le courant de phases multiples afin de produire au moins un courant de vapeur enrichi en hélium et au moins un courant de liquide, à retirer au moins une partie dudit courant de vapeur en tant que courant de produit enrichi en hélium, à faire passer au moins une partie dudit courant de liquide dans un déméthaniseur, à retirer du déméthaniseur une vapeur enrichie en méthane (C1), et à retirer du déméthaniseur un liquide enrichi en hydrocarbures plus lourds que le méthane (C2+).
