February 24, 2025--Written by Daniel Graeber for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Total U.S. production of natural gas liquids (NGLs), such as propane, are on the rise, in large part because of the increase in gas associated with oil production, the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas found.

NGLs are used in various capacities, from petrochemical production to general heating. Citing data from November, the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas found ethane production was up year-over-year by 28%, while butane increased 20% and propane grew by 15% over the same period.
