Condensate/oil/wetgas?

Would someone who really knows, and can put into words that common landowners/farmers can understand;  the difference between oil,condensate, and wetgas?  Is oil a part of the condensate? needing to be separated? Is condensate a part of wetgas?   Does it all come up the shaft at once,along with the dry gas,the butane,propane,ethane? Where does it get separated?  Is condensate  really just OIL, but not the black crude like in Texas,but clear,high BTU stuff that needs more refining?  Everyone reads about it, & talks about it, but how many really know? If we see 2 truckloads leaving the well site daily, what is being hauled out? Oil?, Condensate? Wetgas?

Most I think refer to condensate as being called drip gas. This seems like an old term most have probably heard of before. API gravity is inversely proportional to density. Heavy crude is low API; light crude is in the 38 to 45 range. Condensate is essentially very light oil, with an API above 45.

Thanks for the answers.  Now tell me what is being hauled out by big tankertrucks, daily, 6 months after the well was put into production and hooked up to a gathering pipeline. Does condensate go out the pipe with everything else? if so; then what's being trucked. could be OIL?

See if you can spot the UN hazmat number on the truck, that may give you some insight.
