petroleum refining — Introduction conversion of crude oil into useful products. History Distillation of kerosene and naphtha The refining of crude petroleum owes its origin to the successful drilling of the first oil well in Titusville, Pa., in 1859. Prior to… … Universalium
Dry natural gas — Natural gas which remains after: 1) the liquefiable hydrocarbon portion has been removed from the gas stream (i.e., gas after lease, field, and/or plant separation); and 2) any volumes of nonhydrocarbon gases have been removed where they occur… … Energy terms
Dry natural gas production — The process of producing consumer grade natural gas. Natural gas withdrawn from reservoirs is reduced by volumes used at the production (lease) site and by processing losses. Volumes used at the production site include (1) the volume returned… … Energy terms
Gross gas withdrawal — The full volume of compounds extracted at the wellhead, including nonhydrocarbon gases and natural gas plant liquids. U.S. Dept. of Energy, Energy Information Administration s Energy Glossary … Energy terms
Gross withdrawals — Full well stream volume from both oil and gas wells, including all natural gas plant liquids and nonhydrocarbon gases after oil, lease condensate, and water have been removed. Also includes production delivered as royalty payments and… … Energy terms
Marketed production — Gross withdrawals less gas used for repressuring, quantities vented and flared, and nonhydrocarbon gases removed in treating or processing operations. Includes all quantities of gas used in field and processing plant operations. U.S. Dept. of … Energy terms
Natural gas lease production — Gross withdrawals of natural gas minus gas production injected on the lease into producing reservoirs, vented, flared, used as fuel on the lease, and nonhydrocarbon gases removed in treating or processing operations on the lease. U.S. Dept.… … Energy terms
Natural gas marketed production — Gross withdrawals of natural gas from production reservoirs, less gas used for reservoir repressuring, nonhydrocarbon gases removed in treating and processing operations, and quantities vented and flared. U.S. Dept. of Energy, Energy… … Energy terms
Production, natural gas — The volume of natural gas withdrawn from reservoirs less (1) the volume returned to such reservoirs in cycling, repressuring of oil reservoirs, and conservation operations; less (2) shrinkage resulting from the removal of lease condensate; and… … Energy terms
Production, natural gas, dry — The volume of natural gas withdrawn from reservoirs during the report year less: • the volume returned to such reservoirs in cycling, repressuring of oil reservoirs, and conservation operations; less • shrinkage resulting from the removal… … Energy terms
