Natural gas normally forms in pockets in folds in the stratification of rocks, usually in sandstone. So drilling for this involved boring down to the top of the gas pocket and either it escaping via its own pressure or water can be pumped down to force the gas up.
If the Gas is in shale, then this method isn't available and technology called 'fracking' is used. This uses a specialised drill which forces a compound liquid under extremely high pressure into the shale. The tool 'fractures' the shale rock, hence the term fracking. The new pathways in the rock then allows the gas to escape which is then pumped to the surface.

What is the hardest fossil fuels to extract from the ground?
Oil Shale
What does fossil fuels mean?
Fossil fuels are the sources of energy formed millions of years ago under the ground (coal, oil and natural gas).
What is fracturing it has something to with mixing sand chemical and water to force pressure into the ground to extract natural gas?
This is a method for methane gas extraction rocks.
Is natural gas a natural resource?
Yes, all kinds of gas and gasoline are natural resources.
What is frackling?
method to extract natural gas
What impact is there when you extract natural gas?
Dangerous to people because it if flammable.
Is natural gas a liquid a solid or a gas?
Under normal conditions (in a container or under ground) natural gas is a gas.
What is liquefied natural gas?
Natural gas (out of the ground) that has been compressed until it forms a liquid.
Is there gas underground?
There is natural oil in the ground, this is what is used to produce gas
How do you harvest natural gas?
yes it can be. The oil and gas have to be seperated in tanks and the oil sinks to the bottom of the tank and the gas floats to the top. than you extract the gas.
How are petroleum and natural gas taken from the ground?
It is taken from the ground by pumps sucking it out
How is this fossil fuel natural gas recovered from the ground?
When people mine they get natural gas behind the mining rocks.
Is natural gas mined?
Yes, natural gas is found under the ground, often in the same places that oil is discovered.
What kind of natural resouce is gas?
Gas is refined oil which is petroleum. LNG is natural and comes out of the ground that way and is also petroleum.
