I don't know out of my head. Ill take a look later today. Can you point out the exact products that can be made from NGL and what cannot be made from NGL (i don't know actually...)

From the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas_liquids

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'N')atural gas liquids are the liquids that, combined with methane, form natural gas. The liquids consist of ethane, propane, butane, isobutane and natural gasoline These liquids are used as petrochemical feedstocks, home heating fuels and refinery blending.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('SlipperySlope', 'G')iven the lesser importance of Natural Gas Liquids with regard to a peak in petroleum transportation fuels, I wonder what the effect on the peak oil date would be if NGLs were removed from the model?

Taskforce_Unity, thanks so much for the analysis minus NGL. If it does not impact the peak date range much then we can more easily observe production statistics issued by the various authorities: OPEC, IEA, EIA, etc., which include their own (possibly differing) definitions of fuel liquids.

You have performed a great public service on gathering the data, and developing your analysis. In particular the inclusion of the underlying data allows constructive criticism and reuse by alternative modelers.

It's possible that billions of dollars of future commerical investment and public expenditure might be influenced for the better by your report - I sure hope so!

I am not sure if my NGL project list is complete though. Cera apparently had a more extensive list of NGL projects. I couldn't find a lot in the public databases (and I looked really hard ). Anyway having read Simmons his comments on the CERA report (he has the report, far too expensive for me), I now think that this report is just pure bunk with a political intention.

Bottom up fields analysis my a***.
