Excerpt from Extraction of Gasoline From Natural Gas by Absorption Methods The extraction of gasoline from oasing - head natural gas by com pression and condensation methods has become a large and lucrative industry in this country. In the year 1915 about gallons of gasoline prepared by these methods was placed on the market. In addition, in marketing this gasoline, at many plants an equivalent quantity of naphtha was blended with the gasoline, thereby utilizing for automobile fuel and other purposes a large quantity of naphtha that otherwise would have been unsuited for these purposes. The increase for the year 1915 over 1914 was about gallons. For the year 1916 the production should be more than gallons. The quantity of casing-head gas treated in the year 1915 by compression and condensation methods amounted to about cubic feet; the average yield of gasoline was gallons per cubic feetf' This casing-head gas represents natural gas that formerly went largely to waste; hence the process represented a distinct and important step in the utilization of the natural gas produced in this Country.
