Natural gas recovered along with crude oil from oil wells is called wet natural gas which has a higher ______________ compared to the dry natural gas?
Correct answer: D. Calorific value
- A. Unsaturated hydrocarbon content
- B. Quantity of butane
- C. Quantity of propane
- D. Calorific value
Explanation
Wet natural gas contains more heavier hydrocarbons such as propane, butane and higher components than dry gas. These hydrocarbons raise its energy released per unit volume, giving it a higher calorific value.
