OVERVIEW
Natural gas is a mixture of simple hydrocarbons that are in a gaseous state,
mainly composed of methane (more than 90% approximately); in addition, it
may contains small amounts of ethane, propane, butane and other heavier
hydrocarbons, impurities can also be found in the gas such as nitrogen, sulfuric
acid, carbón dioxide and water.
