gasfields
Underground methane deposits
Gasfields are areas where natural gas deposits occur underground in commercially extractable quantities.
The term typically refers to large-scale extraction sites: The company operates gasfields across three states.
Like oilfields, gasfields may span vast territories and involve extensive drilling infrastructure.
