Natural-gas Condensate - Composition of Natural-gas Condensate

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 word composition:

    Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?
    Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
