Appalachian Natural Gas Processing Capacity Key to Increasing Natural Gas, NGPL Production

August 31, 2017

Natural gas processing capacity in the Appalachian region has grown dramatically over the past several years as producers try to keep pace with increasing natural gas production in the region. Natural gas processing plays a key role in the natural gas supply chain. Natural gas processors separate dry natural gas from natural gas plant liquids (NGPL) and typically remove water, carbon dioxide, sulfur, and other contaminants, which can cause mechanical issues during pipeline transit. NGPLs—ethane, propane, normal (n-) butane, isobutane, and natural gasoline—are sold at prices higher than those they would receive if marketed at their natural gas heat value.
