Introduction to Natural Gas Use ; There is natural gas wherever energy is needed. Natural gas accounts for 10% of domestic energy consumption, it is supplied nationwide through local city gas pipelines network, and it is used in various settings such as the home, industry, and power generation. Natural gas is used in various industrial processes contributing to productivity improvement, pollution prevention, quality improvement, and work environment improvement.
What is natural gas? ; The search for natural gas begins with geologists who study the structure and processes of the earth. They locate the types of geologic formations that are likely to contain natural gas deposits. Geologists often use seismic surveys on land and in the ocean to find the right places to drill natural gas and oil wells. Seismic surveys create and measure seismic waves in the earth to get information on the geology of rock formations. Seismic surveys on land may use a thumper ...

Fit for today's demand, Cummins natural gas engines are the least disruptive alternative power option and exceed EPA standards. Run leaner and cleaner.
Gathering systems, primarily made up of small-diameter, low-pressure pipelines, move raw natural gas from the wellhead to a natural gas processing plant or to an interconnection with a larger mainline pipeline. Natural gas processing plants separate hydrocarbon gas liquids, nonhydrocarbon gases, and water from the natural gas before the natural gas is delivered into a mainline transmission system. Wide-diameter, high-pressure interstate transmission pipelines that cross state boundaries and intr...
