New radar images indicate that Saturn's giant moon Titan contains lakes of liquid hydrocarbons. Condensates are produced from liquid hydrocarbons which are separated when natural gas is treated, from liquid hydrocarbons recovered from non-associated gas, or from liquid hydrocarbons produced from gas condensate reservoirs.
