NGL production has been steady at 1.8 mb/d for the last 15 years or so, growth is in Other Liquids, about 700 kb/d over the last 5 years. "Other Liquids: Biodiesel, ethanol, liquids produced from coal and oil shale, non-oil inputs to methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), Orimulsion, and other hydrocarbons."
NGLs were only 1,660 kb/d in 1970, 9637 kb/d of C+C, thus all liquids of 11,297 kb/d for that year. NGL number at U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) - Annual Energy Review, "5.10
Natural Gas Plant Liquids Production, 1949-2009." BP gives the exact same number as I calculated here in their Stat Review. NGLs are obviously a pretty boring sector, having stayed in a band around 1.5-1.8 mb/d for 40 years now.
