Composition of Natural-gas Condensate

There are many wet gas fields worldwide and each has its own unique gas condensate composition. However, in general, gas condensate has a specific gravity ranging from 0.5 to 0.8 and may contain:

  • Hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
  • Thiols traditionally also called mercaptans (denoted as RSH, where R is an organic group such as methyl, ethyl, etc.)
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2)
  • Straight-chain alkanes having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms (denoted as C2 to C12)
  • Cyclohexane and perhaps other naphthenes
  • Aromatics (benzene, toluene, xylenes, and ethylbenzene)

Famous quotes containing the words composition of and/or composition:

    The proposed Constitution ... is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both.
    James Madison (1751–1836)

    Since body and soul are radically different from one another and belong to different worlds, the destruction of the body cannot mean the destruction of the soul, any more than a musical composition can be destroyed when the instrument is destroyed.
    —Oscar Cullman. Immortality of the Soul or Resurrection of the Dead? The Witness of the New Testament, ch. 1, Epworth Press (1958)
