Natural gas is a petroleum product produced as a byproduct of crude oil extraction. It primarily consists of methane[1].
Production
Irregular quantities are produced by oil extraction equipment, the oil derrick and pumpjack and the fracking tower.
Uses
It has several uses:
- Cracking, where 100 mB of Natural Gas gives 30 mB Petroleum Gas and 20 mB Unsaturated Hydrocarbons
- Hydrotreating, where 1000 mB of Natural Gas and 50 mB of Liquid Hydrogen give 800 mB of Petroleum Gas and 150 mB of Sour Gas
- In the chemical plant: - 1000 mB of natural gas give 1000 mB of carbon dioxide - 200 mB of natural gas, 2 niter, 1 wooden planks and 1 sugar give 4 cordite - 1000 mB of natural gas, 500 mB of liquid oxygen, 1 fluorite and 1 purified tantalite yield 1000 mB of Pandemonium(III)tantalite Solution
- The alternate recipe of the enhanced circuit in the arc welder requires 100 mB of natural gas
Fuel
Natural Gas is a low-quality fuel, that provides 75 kHE per bucket and 50 kTU per bucket.
It is a gaseous fuel, meaning that in order to be burned at 100% efficiency, a combined cycle gas turbine is required.
