natural gas fields
Underground fuel reserves
Natural gas fields are underground reservoirs where natural gas has accumulated in porous rock formations, typically trapped beneath impermeable layers.
These geological formations are drilled and developed for commercial extraction: The discovery of new natural gas fields transformed the region's economy.
A single field may contain multiple wells and span many square miles.
