Home » Natural Gas |
History
The ancient "eternal fires" in the area of present day Iraq that were reported in Plutarch writings around 100 to 125 A.D. probably were from natural gas escaping from cracks in the ground and ignited by lightning. Researchers are continuing to study about how natural gas was formed and where it has collected within the earth's crust. They have found that gas is not only found in pockets by itself but in many cases, with oil. Often, both oil and gas flow to the surface from the same underground formation.
Uses
Some of the uses of the natural gas are power generation, domestic use, transportation, fertilizer, hydrogen and more. Similarly, it is also use in manufacture of fabrics, glass, steel, plastics and paint.
Characteristics
Natural gas is a colorless, odorless, environment friendly energy source. It is a gas consisting primarily of methane. It is found associated with fossil fuels, in coal beds, as methane catharses, and is created by methanogenic organisms in marshes, bogs, and landfills. Natural gas is commercially produced mostly from oil fields and natural gas fields.

Conclusion
Natural gas was once considered a throw-away byproduct of oil exploration. However, it has increased in relevance and importance as the world's crude oil reserves are slowly being depleted. As more efficient and inexpensive ways of liquefying natural gas are developed, it is steadily inching its way closer to becoming a viable fuel alternative for the future. |
