Natural Gas Liquid 
(NGL) 
Components of natural gas that are separated from the gaseous 
state in the form of liquids. This separation occurs in a field facility 
or in a gas processing plant through absorption, condensation or 
other method.  
Non-Associated Gas 
Free natural gas not in contact with, or dissolved in, Crude Oil in 
the reservoir.  There may or may not be condensate production 
together with the gas. 
Non-Routine Flaring 
As defined in the Regulations, all flaring other than Routine 
Flaring. Non-routine flaring is typically intermittent and of short 
duration and either planned or unplanned.  This includes:  
I. 
Subject to prudent operations and prompt action by the

handles the gas during normal operations until their repair 
or replacement, e.g. failure of compressors, pipeline, 
instrumentation, controls;  
II. 
Temporary failure of facilities that prevents receipt of 
Associated Gas; 
III. 
Safety Flaring; 
IV. 
Initial plant or field start-up before the process reaches 
steady operating conditions;
