gas field

A gas field is an underground area where natural gas accumulates in rock layers. These deposits form over millions of years from the remains of plants and microorganisms that have been buried and transformed by heat and pressure. Once discovered, natural gas can be extracted through wells drilled into the reservoir rock. The gas is then processed and transported for use in heating, electricity generation, and as fuel for various industries. Gas fields are vital sources of energy, and their management involves careful extraction to balance supply needs with environmental considerations.
