NGL

Also known as: Natural gas liquid

NGLs are liquids separated from natural gas as the gas is processed either in the field or at gathering points before moving to market.

NGLs are a mixture of light hydrocarbons including ethane, propane, butane, and light naphtha. The composition of NGLs varies.

NGLs are typically transported to a fractionation plant for separation into the different components.
