Article 01
How can producers afford to produce natural gas at today's lower prices?
Canadian gas faces a fundamental challenge: distance from demand. Discover how NGLs — ethane, propane, butane, and condensate — restore value to producers and keep the industry viable at low gas prices.
Article 02
What are Natural Gas Liquids?
Canada's gas is either "dry" or "rich" — and the difference is worth billions. Follow the molecule through gas processing plants and straddle facilities as valuable NGLs are separated and sent to market.
Article 03
Where does propane come from?
There are no propane drilling rigs — so how does it reach your barbecue or furnace? Trace the molecule from NGL fractionation in Alberta's Industrial Heartland all the way to the cylinder at your door.
Article 04
How is a salt cavern made?
Ancient oceans left a geological gift under the Canadian prairies. Learn how engineers dissolve salt formations with fresh water to create massive underground vaults for storing energy products at scale.
Article 05
Where does gas go when it isn't cold?
Once natural gas wells are drilled the flow must continue. This article covers why and how this is achieved once again using geology!
Article 06
NGL's Where do we go now?
Let's follow the natural gas liquids to Edmonton, well more specifically Ft. Saskatchewan Albert where the Alberta Industrial Heartland continues to welcome liquids processing, storage and transportation opportunties.
