Natural-gas processing 1.9%, which is separated out as a valuable byproduct. Natural gas consumption patterns, across nations, vary based on access. Countries with large reserves tend to handle the raw-material natural gas more generously, while countries with scarce or lacking resources tend to be more economical. Despite the considerable findings, the predicted availability of the natural-gas reserves has hardly changed. Natural-gas processing Natural-gas processing is a complex industrial process designed to clean raw natural gas by separating impurities and various non-methane hydrocarbons and fluids to produce what is known as "pipeline quality" dry natural gas. Natural-gas processing begins at the well head.
Natural gas in Bolivia Natural gas in Bolivia Natural gas in Bolivia is one of the nation's main energy sources and export products. Bolivia's proved natural gas reserves are estimated to be 24,800,000,000,000(ft³) (1 January 2009 est.). Most of these reserves are located in the eastern region of the country. The major export pipelines in Bolivia transport the gas to Argentina and Brazil. In 1994 the natural gas sector was privatized, and it was subsequently re-nationalized in 2006 by current president Evo Morales after popular protests during the 2005 Bolivian gas conflict. “Bolivia’s economic history reveals a pattern of a single-commodity focus”, diversification has
