Comments by Paul Wormer on "Natural gas"

  • Milt, I don't understand:

"In the United States, the retail sales processed natural gas to end users are"

Could you phrase this differently?

  • In the section natural gas reserve you say:

"the propane, butanes and pentanes it contains may partially condense upon depressurizing — an effect called retrograde condensation. The liquids thus formed may get trapped by depositing in the pores of the gas reservoir. One method to deal with this problem is to reinject dried gas free of condensate to maintain the underground pressure and to allow re-evaporation and extraction of condensates."

but this is a repetition of something you said a little above. May be you could add: "as discussed above" or something similar.

  • I finished reading it and found it very informative, if you label it "chemistry" I will approve it.

Many thanks, Paul. I re-worded your first item above. As for your second item, I don't know how that discussion of retrograde condensation got repeated. I just deleted it entirely from the natural gas reserves section.
When I load it into the namespace, I will list Engineering and Chemistry as the workgroup categories. I will do that after I get comments that I asked for from a new Engineering editor named Karl D. Schubert.
