Natural gas (methane) is a clean-burning fuel gas used for many residential, commercial, and industrial applications. This colorless, odorless, naturally occurring gas can be found in many countries around the world.
Natural gas production companies tap gas pools using wells and pipelines. They clean and prepare the gas for sale and transport the gas through pipelines to gas suppliers.
High-pressure transmission pipelines move the gas from the production company’s cleaning plants to gas distribution companies for sale to consumers. Regulators and control valves control the high-pressure gas as it moves along the pipeline. At city gate stations and farm taps, regulators reduce the pipeline gas pressure to distribution pressure. Before distribution, an odorant is added to the gas so people can detect the gas in the event of a leak. To provide a constant, measurable gas pressure, service regulators control the gas pressure before it enters the customer’s residence or building.
Worldwide, natural gas is used for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Residential applications use natural gas for heating and cooling homes, heating water, and fueling gas ranges. Commercial applications, such as grocery stores and office buildings, use natural gas for heating and cooling. For industrial applications, natural gas is used as a feedstock for making chemicals, such as anhydrous ammonia, and as a fuel for boilers and furnaces.
