(OP)
What's an average-ballpark figure for the amount of natural gas liquids that could be produced from a gas composed of approximately 91% methane????

RE: Liquid Drop-out in Natural Gas
I've seen some resivoirs that have high methane content and a high C6+ fraction. Its the C6+ fraction that drops out.
RE: Liquid Drop-out in Natural Gas
Thanks for replying, I see your posts all the time. Good info.

If you put the 1200 bbls/day into a 210 bbl tank, you'll haul off 300 bbls/day and lose 1.5 MMSCFD in flash vapors. That would call for a stabilizer.
better yet use Silica Gel to get dew point control. and stabilize it to lose no flash gas.
RE: Liquid Drop-out in Natural Gas
The title of your posting is Liquid drop-out in Natural Gas which leads one to think you are talking about drop-out in a raw natural gas pipeline.
But your posting asks ... for the amount of natural gas liquids that could be produced. If that is what you meant, then most of the ethane and all of the propane, butane, pentane and hexane+ in your gas can be recovered as NGL (natural gas liquids) by using low temperature distillation followed by conventional distillation.
