These intermediate products are further processed separately to produce Crude Oil and Natural Gas Liquids (NGL). In June 2019, the following is the monthly data for all the products:
|
| Joint costs | Crude Oil | Natural Gas Liquids | |||||
| Joint Costs (costs of Hydrocarbons and other inputs and processing to split-off point) | $1,800 |
|
| |||||
| Separable costs of processing 400 tons of ING4 into 150 tons of Crude Oil |
|
| $175 |
|
| |||
| Separable cost of processing 500 tons of XGE3 into 50 tons of Natural Gas Liquids |
|
|
| $105 |
