Just what gases make up the gas that is piped into our homes and businesses?

- Mostly methane (96-98%) then ethane, propane and butane.

What gasses make up LNG?

- Ethane (C2) to Hexane (C6+) and “heavies” (>C6)

Rich gasses are extracted from shale Some shales yield richer gasses than others. They are fractioned into their constituent products using temperature and pressure changes (Midstream processing). Methane is sent to NG pipeline companies Like Kinder Morgan and TransCanada or sent to refracting companies like Valero for final “polishing” and delivery to chemical companies like Dow Chemical or BASF.

Sorry, you are describing NGL, not LNG.
