Analyses of Natural Gases, 2002-2004

Technical Note 418 contains analyses and related source data for 451 natural gas samples from 15 States. Of the total samples, 381 were collected during calendar years 2002 through 2004. The analyses were done using gas chromatography. None of the analyses have been published previously in other analyses reports. All samples were obtained and analyzed as part of the United States Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management investigations of the occurrences of helium in natural gases of countries with freemarket economies. The results of these investigations are published periodically to make the information available to members of the helium and petroleum industries and to the general public.
