| Natural Gas Liquids |
Those hydrocarbons in natural gas which are separated from the gas through the processes
of absorption, condensation, adsorption, or other methods in gas processing or cycling
plants. Generally such liquids consist of propane and heavier hydrocarbons and are
commonly referred to as condensate, natural gasoline, or liquefied petroleum gases.
Where hydrocarbon components lighter than propane are recovered as liquids, these
components are included with natural gas liquids. |
| Natural Gas Processing Plant |
A facility designed to recover natural gas liquids from a stream of natural
gas which may or may not have passed through lease separators and/or field separation facilities.
Another function of the facility is to control the quality of the processed natural gas stream. Cycling
plants are considered natural gas processing plants. |
| Plant Liquids |
Those volumes of natural gas liquids recovered in natural gas processing plants.
|
| Production, Plant Liquids |
The volume of liquids removed from natural gas in natural gas processing
plants or cycling plants during the report year.
