The primary component of natural gas is methane (CH4), the shortest and lightest hydrocarbon molecule. It also contains heavier gaseous hydrocarbons such as ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10), as well as other sulphur containing gases, in varying amounts, see also natural gas condensate. Natural gas also contains and is the primary market source of helium.

All you ever need to know about natural gas from wikipedia, see link below.
It's mostly methane, but there are many components when it comes out of the ground, like water, oil, other gases, and particulates, which have to be removed through processing
