The Origin and Formation of Natural Gas Natural gas, a critical nonrenewable resource, traces its origin millions of years back. Imagine a time when vast expanses of our planet were covered in lush vegetation, dense forests, and teeming aquatic life. Over the eons, as plants and marine creatures died, they sank to the bottom of […]
