Is natural gas found by drilling in the ground?
The process of natural gas is simple and similar to that of oil. Gas is extracted from the earth or the oceans by drilling from a well and then moved by pipeline or boats to a cleaning and processing plant and then to a gas grid or storage facility.
How do you get the fuel out the ground or the seabed?
Drilling oil and gas wells and hydraulic fracturing
Where did natural gas come from?
Natural gas is called this because it is found in the Earth naturally. In other words; there are pockets of this gas in many places within the Earth`s crust. Companies like any natural gas company goes looking or drilling for these pockets of gas. When they find one, they can tap into it and pump this gas out to use for use.
Where was natural gas first located?
The early discovery of natural gas is believed to be in China more than 1,000 BC. These were from natural seeps in the ground, not requiring any wells. The first gas well was drilled in the US in 1821. The first gas well was drilled in Canada in 1883. The gas industry really emerged in drilling in Texas, beginning around the 1920's.
What is natural gas?
Natural gas is a type of fossil fuel (formed from the remains of dead plants and animals) that largely consists of methane, but also contains other components such as ethane, butane, propane, carbon dioxide or hydrogen. Natural gas is mainly methane, CH4. Sometimes trace amounts of other things are added, for instance odorizers so that it is possible to smell the gas in case of a leak in the household. The term 'natural gas' means a fossil fuel in the gaseous state; used for cooking and heating homes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is obtained from porous rocks (by drilling into them), either on its own or together with Oil and sometimes coal.
Is solar power natuarl gas?
No, solar power has nothing to do with natural gas
How is drilling for natural gas different from drilling for oil?
Drilling for natural gas is similar to drilling for oil, but gas must be liquefied before it can be shipped.

What is blind drilling in oil and gas industry?
If there are natural fractures in a reservior & there is a risk of too much loss circulation of drilling fluid then we go for blind drilling where drill cuttings are deposited on fractures & fill them to avoid loss circulation during drilling to getting good production. efhim.ru

Is the oil and gas drilling industry growing?
It generally depends on the price of oil and natural gas. When the price of oil/gas gets high, drilling for oil/gas generally increases thereafter. Oil and gas drilling has been growing in areas such as the northeast United States because of new discoveries and technology regarding shale gas.

Why returning drilling fluid contain gas when drilling through a resevour?
whenever you are drilling through the pay zone, gas contained zones or shallow gas zones there is the risk of having gas in the mud. As you are circulating the mud throthe annulus if the hydrostatic pressure of the column of mud in the annulus is less than the formation pressure then the gas will rise. Note that the gas can be contained in the mud which is called gas cut mud.
