'Natural Gas' is the general term used, but that is just a name for a collection of other gasses.
Natrual Gas consists of:
70-90% Methane (CH4)
0-20% of the following in any combination:
Ethane (C2H6)
Propane (C3H8)
Butane (C4H10)
There can also be low amounts of:
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) 0-8%
Oxygen (O2) 0-0.2%
Nitrogen (N2)0-5%
Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) 0-5%
and finally, trace amounts of:
Argon (AR)
Helium (HE)
Neon (NE)
Xenon (XE)
Contrary to its name, Natural Gas has actually been processed by a refinery from its raw form to remove contaminants such as water vapor, Mercury and acidic gasses like Hydrogen Sulphide. It does originally come from the earth in naturally forming pockets underground either by itself, near or in deposits of crude oil or from cracks in coal.
