Patrick Meehan Jeb Waldschmidt ENGL 102-05 3-26-05 Natural Gas and the Future of Energy Until recently natural gas was considered the dirty brother of oil. Natural gas was often stranded and left undeveloped‚ often wasting it. Oftentimes natural gas was considered unusable ’ and worthless ’ compared to oil. But now that the oil is running out a new light is being shown on natural gas. Today natural gas is very much in favor as a clean fossil fuel‚ especially for

Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (Department Visitation) I believe that petroleum and natural gas engineering or is the perfect major and career for me. Petroleum and Natural Gas engineering otherwise abbreviated as PNGE to me is one of the most interesting‚ in depth‚ and overall the best suite of engineering for myself‚ not to mention that is where the booming money is. I am also no stranger to the natural gas industries. I had grown up on rural farm in Pennsylvania about 35 miles south of

the largest natural gas producer in the world. Higher production of shale gas has reduced energy prices over the last five years and has increased U.S. energy self-sufficiency. Since it is viewed as a relatively clean form of hydrocarbon-based energy‚ natural gas is an excellent way for the U.S. to bridge itself from current reliance on non-renewable natural resources to sustainable forms of renewable energy such as wind and solar power. The economic benefits of extracting shale gas with hydraulic

Hydro-Fracking for Natural Gas Hydraulic fracking or hydro-fracking is the fracturing of rock to extract natural gases from the ground. To fracture the rock and extract the natural gases‚ a large amount of water‚ combined with chemicals‚ is pumped into the ground at high pressures to open up existing fractures. After this process‚ the gas can flow freely into the drilled gas well. However‚ Hydro-fracking should not be used because it destroys the land‚ air‚ water‚ and the health of the people.

Chemical Composition of Natural Gas Natural gas is a naturally occurring gas mixture‚ consisting mainly of methane. While most of the gas supplied to Union Gas is from western Canada‚ some gas is supplied from other sources‚ including the United States and Ontario producers. While the gas from these sources has a similar analysis‚ it is not entirely the same. The table below outlines the typical components of natural gas on the Union Gas system and the typical ranges for these values (allowing for

Based on existing data‚ throughout 2010 there were new discoveries of gas reserves are significant enough to achieve 2.09 trillion cubic feet‚ while the discovery of oil only amounted to 140 million barrels only. On January 1‚ 2011‚ proved reserves position and potential of gas in Indonesia reached 153.72 trillion cubic feet of proven and potential reserves and crude
