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 is natural gas converted to energy?
Burning natural gas releases the energy.
Is natural gas the cleanest burning fossil fuel?
Yes. Natural gas (methane (CH4)) is the cleanest burning fuel, emitting the smallest amount of carbon dioxide of all the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Is natural gas burning in a furnace a chemical change?
Yes, combustion of natural gas is a form of chemical change.
Burning natural gas produces?
Natural gas is chemically known as methane, or CH4. The reaction of burning it produces the following chemical equation: CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O.
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.
Can offshore drilling help with global warming?
No, any production of gas and oil, whether offshore or onshore, increases the effects of global warming. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases responsible.
What determines the market price of natural gas?
Because 80 percent of all U.S. drilling is related to natural gas, natural gas prices will likely dictate drilling activity, which is primarily inland based.
What is a natural gas burning plant?
natural gas refinery
What does Tom Corbett believe in?

What petroleum product is the cleanest burning?
Natural gas is the cleanest burning of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
How are petroleum and natural gas removed from the earths crust?
by drilling wells
How is natural gas converted to energy?
Burning natural gas releases the energy.
Where is natural gas exploration focused?
natural gas exploration and drilling, which accounts for 80 percent of all U.S. drilling activity, will be focused inland, petroleum exploration is shifting toward more offshore locations.
What are the dangers of natural gas drilling?
Drilling for natural gas can cause so many different problems to the environment. One of the most well known ones is water pollution. Another is the releasing of chemicals into the air.
Is their always a flame burning on oil drilling rigs?
No not always; the flame is the rig (or FPSO) burning off the gas which comes up with the oil.
