Abstract
The report quantifies regional and seasonal variations in the composition, chemical and physical properties of natural gas in Brazil over a five-years time period (1992-96), corresponding to approximately 2,200 gas analyses.
These data are intended to provide a strong statistical basis for understanding the properties of natural gas in support of engine and vehicle manufacturers making equipment design and development decisions reciprocating engine technology and natural gas composition standards.
