[From Mineral Industry Surveys, U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, Aug. 2, 1962] NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS AND LIQUEFIED REFINERY GASES, MAY 1962 The production of natural gas liquids in May was 1,276 million gallons (41 million gallons daily) an increase of 3 percent from May 1961, according to the Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of the Interior. Other changes from a year ago were: Production of ethane-ethylene, at plants and refineries, increased 8 percent. The production of liquefied gases at refineries decreased 4 percent to 256 million gallons (8.3 million gallons daily). Demand for liquefied gases for other uses (fuels and chemicals), increased 11 percent, while demand for natural gasoline decreased 7 percent. Stocks of liquefied gases, excluding ethane, increased 11 million gallons to 1,387 million gallons. Final figures for 1961 are shown on page 3 of this report. Production, stocks, and demand of natural gas liquids and liquefied refinery gases in the United States Isobutane produced at refineries for shipment: 1,344,000 gallons. 1 In addition, 2,688,000 gallons of liqeufied petroleum gases were imported. Propane includes propylene, and butane includes butylenes. 4 Composition of 26# plus gasoline: 7,651,000 gallons of propane, 33,996,000 gallons of butane, and 49,534,000 gallons of 12# gasoline.
