It is often actually cheaper to process the gas into some industrial product locally and then ship the product.
FORBES: The Revival Of American Manufacturing: But The Jobs Still Aren't Coming Back
Their goal is to capture and process the gas, mixing the end product with the petroleum extracted from the same field.
FORBES: Gas-to-Liquids Plants: No Longer Exclusive to Larger Players
They own pipelines, terminals and equipment to process natural gas.
The process involves extracting gas from rocks by pumping in sand, water and chemicals.
BBC: Gas-fired power stations to be encouraged by government
Even when energy prices dip, as has happened lately, the cost to transport and process oil and gas doesn't waver.
Fracking is a drilling process that frees gas from deep rock deposits by injecting wells with chemical-laced water at high pressure.
Opponents feel they have little say in the federal energy commission approval process when a gas company wants to build pipeline infrastructure.
Depending on the economics of the location, the process can produce gas that can be burned for heat and power, or purified and sold as natural gas, or, perhaps in the future, used as a feedstock for chemicals or plastics.
FORBES: Waste Management's New Way of Managing Waste: Speed Composting
Hydrogen is conventionally produced by steam reforming natural gas, a process that wastes some of the energy stored in the gas while releasing large amounts of CO2.
FORBES: Could Hydrogen Breakthrough Revive The Fuel-Cell Car?
However, there are concerns over the process by which the gas is extracted, known as fracking.
BBC: China firms to invest $2bn exploring shale gas reserves
Lord Whitty also said he was "suspicious" of fracking, a controversial process used in capturing gas from shale rock.
The agency said the operator was in the process of installing additional gas extraction measures and cladding to seal the site.
BBC: Work under way at Milton Keynes landfill to combat odour
Richard Moorman, CEO of Tamboran, even told residents of Sligo the firm would not use chemicals in the natural-gas extraction process.
Horizontal drilling can offer many advantages to the gas extraction process, allowing wells to be drilled in several directions from one pad.
It's dawning on a lot of MPs that they could well have to deal with proposals to bring "fracking", the controversial process to extract shale gas from rocks, in their constituencies.
The cause: a campaign against the gas drilling process known as fracking that's being led by more than 100 celebrities, including Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, Robert Redford, Mark Ruffalo and Mario Batali.
Hydrogen can be made cheaply from natural gas through a process called "steam reformation, " which separates the carbon from the hydrogen.
Unlike the normal gas extraction, chemically treated water is forced upon the rock underground to fracture it releasing the gas in the process.
Fractionators take a mixed stream of natural gas liquids (the liquid stuff that comes out of the ground along with natural gas) and process it into pure products like ethane, propane and butane.
On the controversial subject of fracking, the process to investigate sources of gas underground, Dr Jones stressed that Local Authorities should have stronger guidance to help their decisions making in allowing it to take place.
Fracking is the underground fracturing of very deep underground shale deposits where natural gas is sequestered and then is recovered using normal process procedures of deep and horizontal drilling for recovering natural gas.
INPEX, a Japanese company, plans to pipe gas from the Ichthys field, under the Indian Ocean, and process it in Darwin for export as liquefied natural gas (LNG) from 2016.
ECONOMIST: Australia��s Northern Territory: Northern lights | The
Oil sands require monstrous amounts of water and natural gas to recover and process.
They can start rapidly and they can stop rapidly too, wreaking havoc on gas markets in the process.
Canada, for example, signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol, in the process pledging to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
The books were then freeze-dried, a process that evaporates the ice into gas to stop further water damage or mildew.
Under the process of fracking, oil or gas is extracted from shale rock by pumping a mixture of sand, water and chemicals into the rock at high pressure.
Most of these have been locked up by Dow, which developed its Insite metallocenes for solution-based polyethylene production, and by Exxon, which commercialised metallocenes for a gas-phase polyethylene process.
From the beginning the challenge was coming up with an inexpensive catalyst that could be reused in the reactor, driving the cost of the process below the market price of gas.
