Question 3 of 4
3. Question
Q3. {IR – Issues} Consider following statements:
Natural gas compressed to a pressure of 200-250 kg/cm² is used as a vehicular fuel and decreases vehicular pollution.
Natural gases that contain hydrogen sulfide or other organic sulfur compounds are called sour gas.
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas cooled to -160°C, turning it into a liquid for easy transport by special tankers.
How many of the statements are correct?
Correct
Explanation
Natural gas is a fossil fuel that primarily consists of methane.
Natural gas reserves are deep inside the earth near other solid and liquid hydrocarbon beds like coal and crude oil.
It is not used in its pure form; it is processed and converted into cleaner fuel for consumption.
By-products extracted: Propane, ethane, butane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen etc.
It also contains nonhydrocarbon gases, such as carbon dioxide and water vapour.
Statement 2 is correct
Types of Natural Gas:
Wet gas or Associated gas: Natural gas found in association with crude oil.
Dry gas or Non-associated gas: When reservoirs contain only gas and no oil.
Coalbed methane: Natural gas found in coal deposits.
Sour gas:Natural gases that contain hydrogen sulfide or other organic sulfur compounds.
Sweet gas: Coalbed methane is called ‘sweet gas’ because it lacks hydrogen sulfide.
Shale gas or Tight gas: Natural gas that occurs in the pores of shale, sandstone, and other sedimentary rocks.
Statement 1 and 3 are correct
Four Basic Forms of Natural Gas
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG): Natural Gas liquefied at – 160°C. It facilitates transportation in large volumes in cryogenic tankers across seas/land.
Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG): LNG is re-gasified at import terminals before being transported to consumers through pipelines.
Compressed Natural gas (CNG): Natural Gas compressed to a pressure of 200-250 kg/cm2 is used as a vehicular fuel. It decreases vehicular pollution.
Piped Natural gas (PNG): Natural gas, distributed through a pipeline with safety valves to maintain pressure, ensures a safe, uninterrupted supply for domestic cooking and heating/cooling applications.
