Raw natural gas hasnt been refined seperating butane propane and other
gasses. Raw natural gas s indeed used directly in peoples homes, know a
fellow with a abandoned oil well on his property, ewhen they quit
pumping it he paid some $ to leave the casing and heats his home and
water with gas from this well, its at 5 PSI reportedly high for butler
PA area.

since raw natural gas contains other gasses it has slightly more BTUs
than refined gas.

Also, the same nat gas that is flared off at production sites is being
used, at least in part, to generate onsite power. I remember seeing a
TV program that showed how they were doing it. The problem with
getting this energy from remote locations is that there is no economic
way to transport it, which is why much of it is flared off.

But what does any of this have to do with nat gas heat being unsafe,
unreliable, unclean, etc?
