NG-3: Level 3 Natural Gas Characterization

Applications: Useful for high precision differentiation of similar gases such as identifying compartmentalization within one producing reservoir. Most commonly used in oil and gas exploration and production operations.

Sample size required: Depends on concentrations. Butanes must exceed 0.15% concentration each and there should be sufficient sample to provide at least 0.5cc (STP) of each of these components, plus the amount needed for NG-1 and NG-2.

Analyses includes: All analyses in NG-1 and NG-2 plus determination of δ¹³C of i C₄H₁₀ and δ¹³C of n C₄H₁₀
