The cooking gas 🔥 used at home was a Mammoth thousands of years ago ❓

Fossil fuels were once alive ! They were formed from prehistoric plants and animals that lived hundreds of millions of years ago 🌕.

Animals and plants lived on the land and in the waters and when they died, their decayed matter eventually became trapped under sand and silt over millions of years .

The sand and silt eventually changed to rock and the resulting heat and pressure turned the organic materials to oil, gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) 🔋.

In cooking up these hydrocarbons, the thick liquid called oil formed first. But over time, the cooking process of the organic material under the layers of silt became natural gas 💭.

Natural gas withdrawn from a well may contain liquid hydrocarbons. This gas is called wet gas and means the gas stream contains NGLs.

The natural gas, or Methane, is separated from these liquid components near the site of the well or at a natural gas processing plant 🏭. The gas is then considered dry and sent through natural gas transmission pipelines, to local distribution companies and, eventually, to consumers 🏢. NGLs can be found in a barrel of crude oil too.

NGLs consist of ethane, propane, butanes and natural gasoline (pentanes). They are kept in a liquid state for storage, shipping and consumption.

These naturally occurring hydrocarbons 🔥 have a variety of uses across the economy including 👉 plastic production, heating and cooking, and gasoline blending.
