nonassociated

Standing apart, unlinked

Nonassociated describes something not connected or affiliated with something else.

In the oil and gas industry, nonassociated gas is natural gas found in reservoirs separate from crude oil deposits, rather than dissolved in or capping oil formations.

More generally, the term marks independence or lack of relationship: nonassociated members, nonassociated costs.
