so with that question, I want to get the answer about what I want to learn in Natural gas with
use the several methods of my research>
What I did
To got information about my research. I had a research plan consist of study literature
from paper and research ,we compared the sources of website , blog and paper with the different
opinion for get the hypothesis as reference for the materials of discussion. And then I interviewed
with expert person about energy (lecture) ,we interviewed with the lecture in SPE that had a high
capability especially in energy , and we got some information and opinion from the lecture that
we would use for i-search materials. And then I discussion about natural gas after we got some
materials and information from many source , we analyzed and got the conclusion that I would
use as result of my research about Natural Gas for Better Futture Life.

1. Natural Gas
Natural gas is one of the cleanest, safest, and most useful forms of energy in present.
Natural gas is a hydrocarbon, which means it is made up of compounds of hydrogen and carbon.
The simplest hydrocarbon is methane, it contains one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms
Natural gas is found in deep underground rock formations or associated with other hydrocarbon
reservoirs in coal beds and as methane clathrates. Petroleum is another resource and fossil fuel
found in close proximity to, and with natural gas. Most natural gas was created over time by two
mechanisms: biogenic and thermogenic. Biogenic gas is created by methanogenic organisms
in marshes, bogs, landfills, and shallow sediments. Deeper in the earth, at greater temperature
and pressure, thermogenic gas is created from buried organic material.
The fact that natural gas is combustible and burns more cleanly than some other energy
sources helps reinforce its position as one of the most highly used energy sources.Natural gas can
be measured in a variety of ways, although the most common unit of measurement is the
Gigajoule (GJ), which signifies one billion joules, the metric measure for heat or energy. Other
measures are Mcf (thousand cubic feet) and Btu (British Thermal Unit).

Blind extraction
Natural gas occurs in fine pores of some rocks. Depth, at which natural gas is located, varies
from 1,000 meters to several kilometers. The process of gas production meaning its extraction
from the subsurface, collection and treatment for transportation starts upon the completion
of geological exploration after the deposits have been identified.

Well drilling
Gas is extracted from the subsurface using specially drilled wells called producing
or operating wells. In fact, there are many types of wells, and they are used not only for
extraction, but also for studying the geological structure of the subsurface, prospecting for new
fields, supporting operations, etc.

- Following well
Natural gas is rising to the surface due to its natural tendency to fill areas with the lowest
pressure. Since gas produced from a well contains many admixtures, it is first taken for
treatment. Comprehensive gas treatment units are built not far from certain fields; in some cases,
gas is instantly taken to a gas processing plant.

The first is Global Warming Emission , Natural gas is a fossil fuel, though the
global warming emissions from its combustion are much lower than those
from coal or oil. Natural gas emits 50 to 60 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2)
when combusted in a new, efficient natural gas power plant compared with
emissions from a typical new coal plant . Considering only tailpipe emissions,
Reflection
Conclusion
From my result about Natural Gas for Better Future Life, I can
conclude that Natural gas is one of the cleanest, safest, and most
useful forms of energy in present . And the step when the natural gas
was produced are Blind extraction, well drilling and following well.
Natural gas is a fossil fuel used as a source of energy for heating,
cooking, and electricity generation. The benefit of natural gas for
Suggestion
After I did my research about Natural Gas and I got the results
about what I wanted to learn. I think that the lack of used of natural
gas Indonesia because the people didnot know about natural gas and
the benefit of the natural gas. I have suggestion that the government
should provide more counseling about natural gas. And then peoples
knowledge about natural gas will increase.
