n: liquefied petroleum gas placed in small containers for sale to domestic customers.

n: a paraffin hydrocarbon, C4H10 , that is a gas in atmospheric conditions but is easily liquefied under pressure. It is a constituent of liquefied petroleum gas. See commercail butane, field-grade butane, normal butane.

a four carbon chain alkane, may be a liquid in the reservoir, but vaporizes as pressure is released. Part of the natural gas liquid components.

n: liquefied petroleum gas, oxygen, acetylene. or any other gas that is C(XD- pressed and confined in a pressure cylinder.

n: an internal-combustion engine used to power a drilling rig. From two to six engines are used on a rotary rig and are usually fueled by diesel fuel, although liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas, and, very rarely, gasoline can also be used.

n: the internal combustion engine used as drilling rig power

n pi: see liquefied petroleum gas.

n: (LPG) a mixture of heavier, gaseous, paraffinic hydrocarbons, principally butane and propane. These gases, easily liquefied at moderate pressure, may be transported as liquids and converted to gases on release of the pressure. Thus, liquefied petroleum gas is a portable source of thermal energy that finds wide application in areas where it is impractical to distribute natural gas. It is also used as a fuel for internal-combustion engines and has many industrial and domestic uses. Principal sources are natural and refinery gas, from which the liquefied petroleum gases are separated by fractionation.

light ends, usually C3 and C4 gasses liquefied for storage and transport.

abbr: liquefied petroleum gas.

liquefied petroleum gas.

n: see liquefied petroleum gas.

n: an installation in which natural gas is processed for recovery of natural gas liquids, the heavier hydrocarbon components of natural gas, including liquefied petroleum gases (such as octane and propane),and natural gasoline.
