Summary:

The term "natural gasoline" has been accepted generally by the petroleum industry as applying to the gasoline product extracted by any process from natural gas. Two processes are in use. The older one is the compression process applied to casinghead gas, which is produced from the oil-bearing sands of oil wells and carries vapors from the oil with which it has been in contact. This process of subjecting the relatively rich gas to a high pressure and then cooling it to or below atmospheric pressure, results in the direct condensation of gasoline which is weathered later to remove the "wild" unusable vapors.The later method is the absorption process in which the gas is brought into contact with a heavy oil, originally of no gasoline-content, which absorbs the gasoline. The enriched oil is then heated to distill off the gasoline, and these two operations of absorption and distillation are repeated continuously within a closed system.The author discusses the proper usage of natural gasoline in blended fuels as determined by a lengthy series of tests
