A method of cooling a hydrocarbon stream such as natural gas, the method at least comprising the steps of:
(a) separating a feed stream (10) into a gaseous stream (130) and a liquid stream (70);
(b) compressing the gaseous stream (130) to provide a compressed gaseous stream (150);
(c) dividing the compressed gaseous stream (150) into at least a first stream (170) and a second stream (160);
(d) cooling, preferably liquefying, the first stream (170) to provide a cooled hydrocarbon stream; and
(e) removing the second stream (160).
