North Carolina fracking[edit]

Thank you for your addition of information on North Carolina to the Hydraulic fracturing in the United States. I corrected the first sentence to read "83 million barrels of natural gas liquids" to be consistent with your cited source. However, the statement about a 5-year supply mystifies me. I have no clue how this was calculated. Natural gas liquids are mostly ethane, but also include propane, butane, and pentane, and minor amounts of heavier hydrocarbons. How does anyone calculate the rate of usage of such a mixture? I realize that it is not your fault, but just a clueless reporter, but if you have any idea what this means, please clarify in the article. Thanks. Plazak (talk) 21:16, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
