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.
