1.0 SCOPE
This document contains the natural gas definition and composition according to International
Standard ISO 13686 / 1998-05-01 Natural gas — Quality designation, as well as the quality
specification published in Portuguese legislation regarding natural gas quality (Despacho
1.°19 624-A/2006 de 25 de Setembro — Anexo IV ~ Regulamento da Qualidade de Servico).
It also presents the annual average compositions and properties of the natural gas in the
Portuguese high pressure transport network ~ the Algerian natural gas from Magreb Europe
Pipeline and the Nigerian natural gas from LNG Terminal.
2.0 DEFINITIONS.
24 Natural Gas
‘A gaseous fuel obtained from underground sources. It consists of a complex mixture of
hydrocarbons, primarily methane, but generally also including ethane, propane and higher
hydrocarbons in much smaller amounts. It generally also includes some inert gases, such
as nitrogen and carbon dioxide, plus minor amounts of trace constituents.
22 Liquefied Natural Gas
Natural gas which, after processing has been liquefied for storage or transportation
purposes. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is vaporized and introduced into pipelines for
transmission and distribution as natural gas.
23 Reference Conditions
‘The preferred reference conditions are referred to as normal conditions and denoted by
the subscript ‘n*:
Pp = 1,01325 bar(a)
Ty = 273,15 K (0 °C)
