Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 49 page paper examines the natural gas industry from the perspective of an oil company. The paper looks at why gas and oil are important, the nature and origins of gas, how it was first used and developed into a commercial product. The paper then examines the ways in which exploration and drilling occurs, how it is produced and transported from the well to the end user, the view of natural gas in the middle east and how it may be renewed with a cocktail of micro-organisms in depleted oil wells as well as the and potential competition to the fuel. The paper ends with a brief conclusion. The bibliography cites 19 sources.

1. Why Gas and Oil are Important? The world relies on energy in order for everyday life to continue. Oil and gas, along with coal are the main sources
of most types of fuel, facilitate not only transportation and heating, but gas is also used by electric companies to generate electricity to power homes and business, oil is also
an input into many other goods, acting as a lubricant in industry as well as a direct input for many manmade materials, such as plastics. Gas and oil are therefore
essential for the current standards of living and also to the economic stability of most economies. It is well known that gas and oil are often found in similar
regions, gas was one seen as only a by-product of the oil in some instances, burnt off as waste. However, just as oil is an important natural resource, so is
gas, and unlike oil there is not the need for a great deal of preparation before it can be utilized by the end user. Gas is also a pollution, but
