Abstract: When one considers the fact that no two pure gases evolve the same amount of heat upon burning, the importance of determining specific heating values will be appreciated. The gross heating values for substances commonly found in natural gas are listed in Table I. The percentages of these components in natural gas have been found to vary widely from one field to another. For example, one extreme in gas of low heating value is found in New Mexico, where there are natural gas wells which produce almost pure carbon dioxide which does not support combustion. On the other hand, a certain field in California produces almost pure methane. However, from most fields one might expect to find a natural gas of a mixture such as indicated in Table II.
