gas field
Underground methane reserve
A gas field is an underground area containing significant reserves of natural gas, typically trapped in porous rock formations.
Like oil fields, gas fields are developed through drilling and extraction operations: The company discovered a major gas field off the coast.
Large gas fields can supply energy to entire regions for decades.
