Liquid hydrocarbon mixture condensed from natural gas
Natural gasoline is a liquid hydrocarbon mixture condensed from natural gas, similar to common gasoline (petrol) derived from petroleum.
The chemical composition of natural gasoline is mostly five- and six-carbon alkanes (pentanes and hexanes) with smaller amounts of alkanes with longer chains.[1] It contains significant amounts of isopentane (methyl butane) CH(CH 3) 2(C 2H 5), which is rare in the petroleum product.[2][3] Its boiling point is within the standard range for gasoline, and its vapor pressure is intermediate between those of natural gas condensate (drip gas) and liquefied petroleum gas. Its typical gravity is around 80 API.
Natural gasoline is rather volatile and unstable, and has a low octane rating, but can be blended with other hydrocarbons to produce commercial gasoline.[4] It is also used as a solvent to extract oil from oil shale.[4] Its properties are standardized by GPA Midstream (formerly Gas Processors Association).[5]
