Abstract: Natural gas was at first considered as a necessary by-product to produce crude oil. Occasionally it is used as fuel for equipment in the immediate area. After World War I, natural gas became valued for what it is. The evolution of the gas industry began. Natural gas today symbolizes a clean burning and efficient fuel. The fact is, when produced, gas is usually accompanied by one or more of the following: crude oil, condensate, sand, water, inhibitors, brines, dirt from pipelines, salt crystals, dispersed corrosion particles and much more. Gas may also be mixed with one or more lethal contaminates such as hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, carbon disulfide, mercaptans, etc. It may also contain nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, helium, water vapors, and other gases, some of which do not burn and therefore drastically reduce the gross heating value of natural cas.
