The hydrocarbons produced are 60% gas and 40% oil. The gas consists of methane, ethane, propane, butane and nitrogen with a heating value of 1,600 British thermal units per standard cubic foot (BTU/SCF). This is a very high heating value as commercial grade natural gas has a heating value of 1,000 BTU/SCF. The oil is similar to a synthetic crude and is mainly “lighter-end” components, with a heating value of 19,000 BTU/lb.
