Gas wells
Gas wells are drilled into underground rock formations that contain natural gas, a fossil fuel used for energy. Once drilled, the well allows the gas to flow to the surface, where it is collected and processed for use in heating, electricity, and manufacturing. The extraction process involves drilling, sometimes hydraulic fracturing, and careful management to ensure safety and environmental protection. Gas wells can be either on land or under the sea, and they play a vital role in supplying energy, while ongoing monitoring helps minimize ecological impacts.
