Advances in Natural Gas: Formation, Processing and Applications. Volume 1: Natural Gas Formation and ExtractionAdvances in Natural Gas: Formation, Processing, and Applications is a comprehensive eight-volume set of books that discusses in detail the theoretical basics and practical methods of various aspects of natural gas from exploration and extraction, to synthesizing, processing and purifying, producing valuable chemicals and energy. The volumes introduce transportation and storage challenges as well as hydrates formation, extraction, and prevention. Volume 1 titled Natural Gas Formation and Extraction introduces natural gas characteristics and thermo-physical properties. The book discusses various formation and synthesize techniques from non-renewable sources (coal, oil shale, etc.) and renewable sources (biomass, sewage, algae, etc.) of natural gas as well as its extraction techniques from different reservoirs. It also covers related environmental challenges of natural gas, economic assessment of its extraction and production technologies, health.Introduces natural gas characteristics and propertiesDescribes different renewable/non-renewable sources for natural gas production and extractionIncludes various methods and technologies for extracting and producing natural gas with related challengesISBN: 9780443192159, 0443192154
