How did the natural gas recovered from the ground?

Natural gas is recovered from the ground through a process called drilling. Wells are drilled into the earth to reach natural gas deposits trapped deep underground. Once the well is drilled, the pressure from the reservoir pushes the gas to the surface where it can be collected and processed for distribution.


How are oil and natral gas extracted from the earth?

Oil and natural gas are extracted from the earth by drilling wells into underground reservoirs. Once a well is drilled, the oil and gas can flow to the surface under their own pressure, or sometimes require pumping or stimulation techniques to bring them to the surface. The extracted oil and gas are then processed and transported for distribution and use.

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.


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.


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.


Where does conocophillips get gas from?

ConocoPhillips produces oil and natural gas from its own operations in various locations around the world, including the United States, Canada, Norway, and Australia. They also purchase gas from other producers through partnerships and joint ventures to supplement their own production.


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.
