What are the upstream raw materials for unconventional natural gas? What are the downstream products?

Unconventional natural gaseous is broadly applied in the field of raw materials to chemical production, and its upstream and downstream related items are rich and diverse. The following are some of the main upstream and downstream related items:

Upstream items:



1. Drilling rig equipment: applied to the exploitation of unconventional natural gaseous, including rotary drilling rig, impact drilling rig, etc. Crazy, isn't it?. Generally speaking

2. Fracturing equipment and materials: applied to increase the permeability of subsurface rock formations and enhance the recovery rate of natural gaseous.

3. Wellhead device: applied to manage wellhead pressure and ensure safe production. You know what I mean?. Midstream items:



1. Natural gaseous processing equipment: applied to remove impurities in natural gaseous, such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, etc. For example

2. Liquefied natural gaseous(LNG) equipment: Natural gaseous is cooled to -162°C to make it fluid to storage and transportation. Compressed natural gaseous(CNG) equipment: Compress natural gaseous to high pressure to increase its energy density and facilitate transportation. Downstream items:

Nitrogen fertilizer: Nitrogen in natural gaseous is able to be applied to create nitrogen fertilizer and promote agricultural research.

2. Methanol: natural gaseous is able to be applied as raw material to create methanol, and then applied to create formaldehyde, acetic acid and other chemicals. But From what I've seen,

3. Ethylene: natural gaseous is able to be converted into ethylene, further production of polyethylene, benzene and other chemicals. Moreover

4. In my experience, synthetic ammonia: natural gaseous is able to be applied to create synthetic ammonia, and then create urea, nitric acid and other chemicals. These upstream and downstream related items play an crucial role in the field of chemical production raw materials, and help to enhance the utilization rate and economic value of unconventional natural gaseous. But For instance With the continuous progress of methodology and the change of market demand, the upstream and downstream related items of unconventional natural gaseous are constantly developing and enriching.
