Natural Gas Extraction Techniques

Natural gas extraction involves several techniques to safely obtain gas from underground reservoirs. The most common methods are traditional drilling and hydraulic fracturing (fracking). In traditional drilling, wells are drilled straight into the ground to access gas deposits. Fracking, on the other hand, involves injecting high-pressure water mixed with sand and chemicals into rock formations to create fractures, allowing gas to flow more freely. Both methods aim to maximize gas recovery while ensuring environmental safety. Ongoing monitoring and regulation help manage the impacts of these techniques on local ecosystems and communities.
