How did the natural gas recovered from the ground?
it flows from wells usually from its own pressure then pipes collect the gas
Is natural gas flammable?
Yes. Natural gas is composed of mostly of methane (which is flammable), as well as lesser amounts of other flammable hydrocarbons. ** Actually, natural gas is not flammable on it's own and must mix with air to be flammable.
Does natural gas emit co2?
Yes, natural gas, methane, is one of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which, when burnt, releases carbon dioxide (CO2). It is also a greenhouse gas in its own right.
What is the ticker symbol for El Paso Natural Gas Company?
El Paso Natural Gas Company is owned by the El Paso Corporation, whose ticker symbol is EP. El Paso Natural Gas company does not have a ticker symbol of its own.
What are positive aspects of natural gas?
Cheaper, Clear Burning, There is Tons of it, And Now Canada and US got its own.
Is methyl mercaptan flammable gas?
Yes it is. Natural gas has no smell of its own. Methyl mercaptan is used to add a bad smell to natural gas to warn you if a gas leak should occur.
What gases can be in coke?
None you retard your own natural gas.. teehee. :)
What are some non examples of natural gas?
mind your own business

How do you find out if there is natural gas on your property?
Two things I get from this question. Can I drill for gas? or Does my house have a gas hookup? First geological surveys can be done to determine if the placement of an oil well, where Natural gas comes from, on your property is feasible. For the second, if there is a gas line in the street serving your neighbors, there is probably a stab off for your own house, contact the local gas company.
Does natural gas has its own natural smell?
Actually no. Natural gas does not have a smell at all. A smell is added to it when its used for stoves and such.True Natural Gas does not have an odor, before or after combustion. The most common type of natural gas used is propane, in which they mix an additive to give it its tale-tell odor.yesPure natural gas (methane, CH4) is completely odorless. However, for domestic use, odorants are often added so that it is easier to detect a gas leak in your house. I'm not sure if the natural gas that comes out of the ground is pure or not, however, and there may be traces of other gases that do have a smell. The natural gas itself does not. However sour gas contains hydogen sulfide known as H2s and smells like rotten eggs. It is heavier than air and collects is low areas, which you smell when going through an oil field. A heavy dose can be deadly.
How do you extract natural gas out of the ground?
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.
