143 - Natural gas liquids (including condensate) and related products

This group comprises natural gas liquids (NGLs) and related products. NGLs are found in natural gas and include liquefied petroleum gases or LPGs (propane, butane), ethane, lease condensate, pentanes plus, among others.

  • Exclusion(s)

    • natural gas (See 1421111 Natural gas)

14311 - Natural gas liquids (including condensate) and related products

This class comprises natural gas liquids (NGLs) and related products. NGLs are found in natural gas and include liquefied petroleum gases or LPGs (propane, butane), ethane, lease condensate, pentanes plus, among others.

  • Exclusion(s)

    • natural gas (See 1421111 Natural gas)

143112 - Natural gas liquids (except LPGs)

This subclass comprises natural gas liquids, except liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs), and covers lease condensate and pentanes plus.

  • Exclusion(s)

    • natural gas (See 1421111 Natural gas)
1431121 - Ethane

Straight-chain gaseous paraffinic (saturated) hydrocarbon (C2H6) extracted predominantly from natural gas streams. It is a colourless gas that boils at a temperature of -88° Celsius.

  • Illustrative example(s)

    • ethane gas in cylinders
    • liquefied ethane gas

    All examples

1431122 - Lease condensate

Light liquid hydrocarbons recovered from lease separators or field facilities at associated and non-associated natural gas wells, mostly pentanes and heavier hydrocarbons. Normally enter the crude oil stream after production.

  • Illustrative example(s)

    • associated lease condensate
    • non-associated lease condensate
    • pentanes (except pentanes plus) used for blending with heavy crude oils and bitumens

    All examples

  • Exclusion(s)

    • crude and diluted bitumen (See 141121 Crude and diluted bitumen)
    • heavy crude oil (See 1411112 Heavy crude oil)
    • light and medium crude oil (See 1411111 Light and medium crude oil)
    • pentanes plus (See 1431123 Pentanes plus (including plant condensate))
    • pentanes used for refinery or purposes other than blending with crude oils and bitumens (See 2632131 Butadiene)
    • plant condensate (See 1431123 Pentanes plus (including plant condensate))
    • synthetic crude oil (See 1411311 Synthetic crude oil)
1431123 - Pentanes plus (including plant condensate)

Mixture of mainly pentanes and heavier hydrocarbons that ordinarily contains butanes. Pentanes plus (also known as natural gasoline) is obtained from the processing of raw gas, condensate or crude oil.

  • Illustrative example(s)

    • pentanes plus extracted from crude petroleum oils

    All examples

  • Inclusion(s)

    • plant condensate

  • Exclusion(s)

    • crude and diluted bitumen (See 141121 Crude and diluted bitumen)
    • heavy crude oil (See 1411112 Heavy crude oil)
    • lease condensate (See 1431122 Lease condensate)
    • light and medium crude oil (See 1411111 Light and medium crude oil)
    • pentanes plus used for refinery or purposes other than blending with crude oils and bitumens (See 2632131 Butadiene)
    • synthetic crude oil (See 1411311 Synthetic crude oil)
1431124 - Other natural gas liquids (NGLs) and related products, n.e.c.

Natural gas liquids other than ethane, propane and butane, and similar products.

  • Illustrative example(s)

    • process gas

    All examples

  • Exclusion(s)

    • natural gas (See 1421111 Natural gas)
