Being an oil city I'm sure somebody can explain this to me. I only have an elementary understanding of the gas side of things, but I do know that natural gas liquids are completely different from LNG, what is this difference?

Natural gas liquids are the heavier components (propane and higher)
LNG is methane and ethane

Natural gas liquids are the heavier hydrocarbons in natural gas, ethane, propane, butane, and so on that can be extracted during natural gas processing and is worth a lot more than pure methane.
LNG is liquified natural gas is basically methane compressed and cooled so that it is in a liquid form for ease of transportation.

Is wet gas not worth more than dry gas? And nowhere in that article is 'rich' even used.

Yup. There's more demand and higher returns for natural gas liquids (wet gas) than LNG's ('dry' gas) right now.Originally posted by msommers

Maybe he is confused with rich gasoline?Originally posted by msommers

Plenty of people in the industry refer to gases that aren't dry gases as wet gases. Unless people and textbooks have been lying to me.
