The breakthroughs by J. Paul Hogan and Robert L. Banks in 1951 were made while attempting to convert light hydrocarbons like ethylene and propylene into gasoline. Much of this effort began under the direction of George Oberfell. As director of Phillips research, Oberfell convinced Frank Phillips on the value of research into additional uses for natural gas liquids. By 1927, Oberfell had established one of the worldıs first hydrocarbon research laboratories. Early research in these laboratories led to the development of liquefied propane gas for household heating.
