Claim 8:
9. A method for processing natural gas from supply source and producing, storing and transporting a compressed gas liquid (CGL) product comprising a liquid phase mixture of natural gas and a hydrocarbon liquid solvent in a liquid medium form, wherein the hydrocarbon liquid solvent includes one or more of ethane, propane and butane, to deliver natural gas to market, comprising
storing a CGL product on a marine transport vessel comprising a containment system configured to store the CGL product at storage pressures and temperatures at selected points in the ranges of −40F to −80F, and 900 psig to 2150 psig and associated with storage densities for the natural gas that exceeds the storage densities of compressed natural gas (CNG) for the same storage pressures and temperatures, and
unloading the CGL product from the containment system on the marine transport vessel to an offloading barge comprising separation, fractionation and offloading equipment modules for separating the CGL product into its natural gas and solvent constituents and offloading natural gas to storage or pipeline facilities, wherein the offloading barge is moveable between gas market offloading locations.
