gasfield
Underground methane reserve
A gasfield is an area where natural gas deposits are found underground in commercially viable quantities.
Like oilfield, the term refers both to the geological formation containing the resource and to the industrial site where extraction occurs.
Major gasfields may span hundreds of square miles and operate for decades.
The company announced the discovery of a massive gasfield off the coast.
