Wet gas V dry gas...bit of light reading for you all  - cheers Schu

Come on Drover1 - results from logging then next stage testing early in new year- we believe its there so  we just want conformation (speculative comments)

Natural gas is natural gas, right?
Not quite. There are two types of gas locked inside Pennsylvania’s Marcellus Shale: “wet gas” and “dry gas.” Here’s the difference, and why it matters:
“Dry gas” is essentially….gas. There’s methane in it, but not much else. The bulk of the natural gas produced in north central and northeast Pennsylvania is dry.
Gas extracted from Marcellus Shale in southwestern Pennsylvania, on the other hand, is considered “wet.” That means in addition to methane, the gas contains compounds like ethane and butane. These “natural gas liquids” – NGLs for short – can be separated and sold on their own. (The market for ethane has gotten a lot of attention in Pennsylvania recently, as Shell weighs building a petrochemical plant in Beaver County that would convert – “crack”  – ethane into ethylene, which is used to make plastics.)
