At Least 18,000 Diary Cows Killed in Texas Panhandle Explosion

Just for FYI this is breakdown of natural gas. Pipe line quality natural gas is 950 to 1050 BTU. Natural Gas from most producing wells is alot higher until processed through a gas plant where the other elements are stripped. The numbers to the right are percentages.View attachment 367990

IIRC the Koch plant in Medford separates and processes all those "anes".

vibration switches.

yeah baby

Smith Tool was a manufacture for mining and oil patch drilling bits.
If you were selling vibration switches it may have been next door to Mertz that build and sold vibrasize trucks for oil exploration.

Mertz, that’s it, thanks! Gosh, that was 36 years ago…

Ethane
Ethylene
Acetylene
Methane
Methylene
Propane
Propylene
Butane
Butylene
Pentane
Hexane
Heptane
Octane
and the molecules keep growing. Adding a carbon or hydrogen.


Start at CH2 and moving up in molecular weight to C2H2, C2H4, C3H6, ...
All very similar, yet very different and superior building blocks in industry, particularly plastics, coming from crude oil distillation.

The gasses, especially extremely light ones, are given off quickly when wells are opened. Most are obtained through cracking during the distilling process. Separating them is the fun part.

SMH! 10 pages about methane and not 1 taco bell reference! Not one! Really disappointed in you, OSA. At least retrieverman tried....

Don't let Cy get ahold of this, he'll stick 'mRNA', 'RNA', and a few other things on there.

Methane is plenty powerful....powerful enough to fuel the largest rocket ever: Starship....first orbital flight coming soon...perhaps this Monday

With 18,000 cows farting, Sooner or later some wise ass is gonna try to light one. BOOM!
