Gas can naturally seep from underground deposits. The first recorded use is considered to be from 100 AD, with the mention of "eternal flames" in Iraq or Persia as it was called in ancient times. More recent use, through drilled wells, occurred in the 19th century in the US and Canada. The main purpose was for fuel for lamps.
