WEBWhat is NGL? NGL – Natural Gas Liquid. Typically refers to ethane, propane, butanes, and natural “gasoline” (pentanes) NGL’s are hydrocarbons removed (condensed) as a liquid from a hydrocarbon stream that is typically in a vapor phase (i.e. natural gas) They are kept in a liquid state for storage, shipping and consumption.
What are natural gas liquids and how are they used?
WEBApr 20, 2012 · Natural gas liquids (NGLs) are hydrocarbons—in the same family of molecules as natural gas and crude oil, composed exclusively of carbon and hydrogen. Ethane, propane, butane, isobutane, and pentane are all NGLs (see table above).

WEBJun 24, 2020 · At a natural gas processing plant, natural gas liquids are extracted as liquids from a hydrocarbon stream that is in a gaseous state. Once they’re separated from the larger stream, they are transported as a mixture via pipelines to an NGL processing plant, also known as a fractionator.

Natural-gas processing - Wikipedia
WEBNatural-gas processing is a range of industrial processes designed to purify raw natural gas by removing contaminants such as solids, water, carbon dioxide (CO 2), hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), mercury and higher molecular mass hydrocarbons (condensate) to produce pipeline quality dry natural gas [ 1 ] for pipeline distribution and final use.

Natural gas liquids extraction and separation
WEBJan 1, 2021 · The NGL extracted from natural gas make up the so-called Y-grade NGL from which ethane, propane, n-butane, iso-butane and pentanes plus are separated by fractionation in a distillation unit. A subset of NGL is liquid petroleum gas (LPG).

WEBJun 25, 2015 · Natural-gas liquids (NGL) are hydrocarbons that exist as gas in the reservoir but become liquid at surface pressure and temperature conditions. They are the liquid content of natural gas that is recovered separately at the surface in lease separators and field facilities or in natural-gas processing plants. The liquids recovered at the well or ...
