Drilling for natural gas is similar to drilling for oil, but gas must be liquefied before it can be shipped.

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.
Cheaper petrol and gas,

Tungsten is a major component in those drilling bits.
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.
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.
