Natural gas is an essential constituent of the world's reserve of energy and a crucial basis of numerous bulk chemicals and specialty chemicals. It is one of the cleanest, safest, and most beneficial of all energy sources, and facilitates in meeting the world's increasing needs for cleaner energy for the future. However, exploring, generating and bringing gas to the user or transforming gas into desired chemicals is a systematical engineering project, and every step needs thorough understanding of gas and the encircling environment. Any developments in the method link could lead to a paradigm...

This book provides an insight on the extraction and application techniques of natural gas. Natural gashas customarily been used as a fuel for space heating and as a feedstock for chemical production. The recent developments in hydraulic fracturing, exploration and drilling procedures have made natural gas available. As it replaces petroleum usage in several areas, a small amount of disruption is likely to happen. In such an unstable situation, this book presents the state-of-the-art techniques in different areas of natural gas like exploration, drilling, gas processing, storage, distribution,...
