Natural Gas
Components of Raw Natural GasNatural gas is the leading source of heat for homes and businesses in Canada and is used to generate electricity. Natural gas liquids (ethane, propane, butane and condensates) produced along with natural gas are used as fuel for heating and motor vehicles, and are the primary feedstocks for petrochemicals and oil refining. |
FracturingSometimes an additional step is required to stimulate the formation so gas can move more easily to the wellbore. Hydraulic fracturing is when a fluid (like water or an oil product) is pumped down the hole under pressure to create cracks in the formation. |
