a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons associated with petroleum deposits; mostly methane with smaller amounts of ethane, propane and butane; principally used as a fuel
A naturally occurring gaseous hydrocarbon with a specific gravity of 0 6 and a heat content of about 1030 Btu per cubic foot Its primary component is methane The chemical formula for methane (natural gas) is CH4
A naturally occurring gas used as a fuel in furnaces and power plants Natural gas is commonly found in oil-producing areas
Natural gas is gas which is found underground or under the sea. It is collected and stored, and piped into people's homes to be used for cooking and heating. A mixture of hydrocarbon gases that occurs with petroleum deposits, principally methane together with varying quantities of ethane, propane, butane, and other gases, and is used as a fuel and in the manufacture of organic compounds. gas used for heating and lighting, taken from under the earth or under the sea. Colourless, highly flammable gaseous hydrocarbon consisting primarily of methane and ethane. It may also contain heavier hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen, helium, and argon. It commonly occurs in association with crude oil (see petroleum). Natural gas is extracted from wells drilled into the Earth. Some natural gas can be used as it comes from the well, without any refining, but most requires processing. It is transported either in its natural gaseous state by pipeline or, after liquefaction by cooling, by tankers. Liquefied natural gas occupies only about 1/600 of the volume of the gas. It has grown steadily as a source of energy since the 1930s
A mixture of hydrocarbon compounds, primarily methane and small quantities of various non-hydrocarbons existing in gaseous phase or in solution with crude oil in natural underground reservoirs at reservoir conditions
clean-burning fossil fuel available in vast quantities throughout North America and delivered to homes via an extensive pipeline network
A mixture of hydrocarbon compounds and small amounts of various nonhydrocarbons (such as carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen sulfide, and nitrogen) existing in the gaseous phase or in solution with crude oil in natural underground reservoirs
A naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases found in porous rock formations Its principal component is methane
A naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbons (principally methane) and small quantities of other gases found in porous geological formations, often in association with petroleum
A mixture of hydrocarbon compounds, primarily methane and small quantities of various non-hydrocarbons, existing in gaseous phase or in solution with crude oil in natural underground reservoirs at reservoir conditions
A mixture of hydrocarbons and small quantities of various nonhydrocarbons in the gaseous phase or in solution with crude oil in natural underground reservoirs
An odourless, colourless, gaseous hydrocarbon mixture made up of methane (CH4) and a small percentage of other light hydrocarbons Natural Gas is found naturally underground After processing, the gas is compressed and distributed through pipelines - processes that consume a small amount of energy Natural Gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel
- naturally occurring gases found either alone or together with oil in underground reservoirs The main component is methane
gas issuing from the earth's crust through natural openings or bored wells; a combustible mixture of hydrocarbons and methane used chiefly as a fuel and raw materials
naturally occurring mixture of gaseous saturated hydrocarbons, consisting of 80-95% methane (CH4), lesser amounts of propane, ethane and butane, and small quantities of non-hydrocarbon gases (e g , nitrogen, helium) Natural gas is found in sandstone, limestone, and other porous rocks beneath the earths surface, often in association with crude oil Because of its high heating value and clean-burning characteristics, natural gas is widely used as a fuel The heavier hydrocarbons in natural gas can be extracted, through compression or absorption processes, to yield LPG (propane or butane), natural gasoline, and raw materials for petrochemical manufacture See natural gas liquids
Gas in the methane, ethane, propane, butane series that is often found in association with petroleum Native: Metallic chemical element found in nature in its pure state Nickel: Shiny white metal that is never pure in its natural state as it is always associated with iron Its principal ore is pentlandite Niobium: Rare grey metal used mainly in the manufacture of light, resistant alloys Its principal ore is pyrochlore Nugget: Lump of native gold without gangue Native plant: Plant that grows naturally in a region Nickel sulfate: Chemical compound composed of nickel, sulfur and oxygen
A mixture of hydrocarbon compounds and small quantities of various nonhydrocarbons existing in the gaseous phase or in solution with crude oil in natural underground reservoirs
