Raw Gas

Raw gas refers to natural gas that is extracted directly from underground reserves before being processed. It contains a mixture of hydrocarbons, impurities, and other substances that need to be refined for safe, efficient use. Think of it as unrefined or "crude" natural gas, which requires treatment like removing liquids, water, and contaminants to produce clean, usable natural gas for homes, industries, and electricity generation. The quality and composition of raw gas can vary depending on the source, which makes processing an essential step before distribution.
