1. A process for producing syngas, the process comprising:
reacting a reformer feed stream comprising methane and an oxidant selected from the group consisting of water and carbon dioxide with an oxygen-enriched stream to produce a first syngas stream comprising hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide;
heating a preheated mixed feed stream by indirect heat exchange with the first syngas stream to produce the reformer feed stream and a second syngas stream;
heating a boiler feed water stream by indirect heat exchange with the second syngas stream to produce a saturated steam and a third syngas stream; and
heating the saturated steam by indirect heat exchange with the third syngas stream to produce a superheated steam and a fourth syngas stream.
