how is natural gas formed

Natural gas is formed from the decomposition of organic matter, such as dead plants and animals, buried deep underground over millions of years.

what is the geology where natural gas is found

Geology of natural gas - Natural gas is found in porous rock formations called reservoirs, typically trapped beneath impermeable layers of rock, like shale or sandstone.

where is natural gas found

Natural gas is found underground in rock formations and reservoirs, typically near oil fields or trapped in coal beds

what is natural gas made out of

Natural gas is primarily composed of methane, with small amounts of other hydrocarbons, such as ethane, propane, and butane.

what are the first uses of natural gas in the united states of america

lighting and heating, commercial use began in 1816 in Fredonia, New York for street lighting.

brief history of natural gas in new york state

Natural gas was first discovered in New York State in 1821 by william hart. The first commercial natural gas well was drilled in Fredonia in 1825, leading to the establishment of the first natural gas company in the United States.

what are the major uses of natural gas

Major uses of natural gas include electricity generation, heating buildings, industrial processes, and as a fuel for vehicles and cooking.

what are secondary sources of natural gas

Secondary sources of natural gas refer to unconventional reservoirs where gas is trapped in coal beds, shale formations, or tight sands.

what are the top five natural gas producing states

Texas, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Wyoming.

what are the impacts that natural gas has on the climate

Natural gas contributes to climate change by releasing carbon dioxide when burned, a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming. Methane leaks during extraction and transportation also contribute to the greenhouse effect.

what is shale gas extraction

Shale gas extraction is the process of obtaining natural gas from shale rock formations through hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.

process of hydraulic fracking

Flashcard: Process that extracts oil or gas by injecting high-pressure fluid into rock formations to create fractures, allowing the resources to flow to the surface.

pros and cons of hydraulic fracking

Pros: Increases domestic energy production, creates jobs. Cons: Risk of water contamination, earthquakes, air pollution.
