#593 Natural Gas

Natural gas is primarily methane that was formed from dead organisms buried underground millions of years ago. It is found trapped in underground rocks and can be extracted via drilling or other extraction techniques depending on if it is conventional or unconventional sources like shale gas. Natural gas exists as either dry gas containing mostly methane or wet gas also containing other compounds like ethane and butane.

Natural gas is primarily methane or CH4, with smaller quantities of other hydrocarbons.

It was formed
millions of years ago, when dead organisms sunk to the bottom of the ocean and were buried under
deposits of sedimentary rock. Subject to intense heat and pressure, these organisms underwent a
transformation in which they were converted to gas over millions of years.
Natural gas is found underground rocks, called reservoirs. The rocks have tiny spaces called pores that allow
them to hold water natural gas and sometimes oil. The natural gas is trapped underground by impermeable rock,
called a cap rock, and stays there until it is extracted. Natural gas can be categorized as dry or wet. Dry gas is
essentially gas that contains mostly methane; wet gas, on the other hand, contains compounds, such as ethane
and butane, in addition to methane. These natural gas liquids, or NGLs for short, can be separated and sold
individually for various uses, such as in refrigerants and to produce products like plastics.
Conventional natural gas can be extracted for drilling wells; unconventional forms of natural gas, like shale gas,
tight gas, sour gas, and coal bed methane, has specific extraction techniques. Natural gas can also be found in
reservoirs with oil and is sometimes extracted alongside oil. This type of natural gas is called associated gas.
