What is the difference between a natural gas and a natural gas liquid?
assistant
The main difference between a natural gas and a natural gas liquid (NGL) is that natural gas is composed of methane, ethane, propane, butane, and other gases. NGLs are made up of heavier components such as propane, butane, and pentanes. Natural gas liquids are extracted from natural gas during processing to make them easier to transport and store.
