Hello, my name is
Talisman Terry, your
friendly Fracosaurus.
I am here to teach you
about a clean energy source
called Natural Gas, found
right here in the Twin Tiers!

Natural Gas is a clean-burning

fossil fuel. It is one of the
cleanest, safest, and most
useful of all energy sources.

After Drilling

During Drilling

Good Neighbor Program

Natural Gas is used to heat our homes,

to cook our meals, to heat our water,
and can even be used in special
cars and buses.

Natural Gas comes

directly to our homes
through a gas pipeline.
The gas company reads
a gas meter on the outside
of our house to see how much
gas we use each month.

Before Drilling

Good Neighbor Program

Because there is only so much gas

under the ground, one day the
well stops producing gas. At
this time, the well is closed,
and the land is reclaimed
and returned to the way
it was before Talisman
came to drill.

But where does Natural Gas

come from and how does it
get to our homes?

Good Neighbor Program

The gas that fuels our homes

is found deep beneath the
surface of the earth by
exploration companies like
Talisman Energy USA.

Good Neighbor Program

Each well is different depending

on how much gas is underneath
the ground. Some wells may
produce for a short period
of time, while others
may produce gas for
many years.

Once the well begins producing

natural gas, a gathering system
is needed to collect it. Pipes
are connected to capture the
natural gas and deliver
it to customers.

Good Neighbor Program

Over millions of years,

heat and pressure below
the earths surface creates
fossil fuels like natural gas
from organic material.

Good Neighbor Program

Geologists study rocks and

perform special tests to
find the gas deep in the ground.

Good Neighbor Program

During the drilling process,

you may see a lot of big
equipment, including a
drill rig, large trucks,
and tanks of water.

Good Neighbor Program

The well may be more than a mile

deep when it is complete! That is
equivalent to the height of 15 or
more California Redwoods, the
earths tallest tree, stacked on
top of each other.

Good Neighbor Program

Because natural gas is

lighter than air, it will rise
up to the earths surface
when it is set free from
underground rocks.

Good Neighbor Program

copyright 2010 Talisman Energy USA Inc.

Once Talisman knows where

the right kind of underground
rock is, it works with the
property owners to get
permission to drill.

Good Neighbor Program

copyright 2010 Talisman Energy USA Inc.

The area where the well will be

drilled is cleared, with the dirt
saved so that it can be used
later on to reclaim the land.
This means it will look the
same as before, once the
well is no longer in use.
