Abstract: Before discussing NGLs, it is rst necessary to build some background on natural gas. Natural gas is a naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbons (compound of hydrogen and carbon) and nonhydrocarbon gases found in porous geologic formations beneath the earths surface. Natural gas is a mixture of the hydrocarbon components of methane, ethane, propane, butane, and pentanes, with the principal constituent being methane. Natural gas also can contain non-hydrocarbon gases such as carbon, dioxide, water, hydrogen sulde, and nitrogen. The natural gas extracted from underground gas elds and brought to the surface by gas wells (commonly called raw gas) is much different than the natural gas used to heat our homes, to cook our food or to generate electricity. The natural gas used by consumers is composed almost entirely of methane. In contrast, natural gas found at the wellhead, although still composed primarily of methane, is by no means as pure.
