1
Natural gas.
2
Natural gas is primarily methane, or CH4, with smaller quantities of other hydrocarbons.
3
It was formed millions of years ago
4
when dead organisms sunk to the bottom of the ocean and were buried under deposits of sedimentary rock.
5
Subject to intense heat and pressure, these organisms underwent a transformation in which they were converted to gas over millions of years.
6
Natural gas is found in underground rocks called reservoirs.
7
The rocks have tiny spaces called pores that allow them to hold water, natural gas, and sometimes oil.
8
The natural gas is trapped underground by impermeable rock called a cap rock and stays there until it is extracted.
9
Natural gas can be categorized as dry or wet.
10
Dry gas is essentially gas that contains mostly methane.
11
Wet gas, on the other hand, contains compounds such as ethane and butane, in addition to methane.
12
These natural gas liquids, or NGLs for short, can be separated and sold individually for various uses, such as in refrigerants and to produce products, like plastics.
13
Conventional natural gas can be extracted through drilling wells.
14
Unconventional forms of natural gas, like shale gas, tight gas, sour gas, and coal bed methane, have specific extraction techniques.
15
Natural gas can also be found in reservoirs with oil and is sometimes extracted alongside oil.
16
This type of natural gas is called associated gas.
17
In the past, associated gas was commonly flared or burned as a waste product, but in most places today it is captured and used.
18
Once extracted, natural gas is sent through small pipelines called gathering lines to processing plants, which separate the various hydrocarbons
19
and fluids from the pure natural gas to produce what is
20
known as pipeline quality dry natural gas before it can be transported.
21
Processing involves four main steps to remove the various impurities.
22
Oil and condensate removal, water removal, separation of natural gas liquids, sulfur and carbon dioxide removal.
23
Gas is then transported through pipelines called feeders to distribution centers where it is stored in underground reservoirs for later use.
24
In some cases, gas is liquefied for shipping in large tankers across oceans.
25
This type of gas is called liquefied natural gas, or LNG.
26
Natural gas is mostly used for domestic or industrial heating and to generate electricity.
27
It can also be compressed and used to fuel vehicles and as a feedstock for fertilizers, hydrogen fuel cells, and other chemical processes.
28
Natural gas development, especially in the United States, has increased as a result of technological advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
29
When natural gas is burned, there are fewer greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants when compared to other fossil fuels.
30
In fact, when used to produce electricity, natural gas emits approximately half the carbon emissions of coal.
31
Despite fewer emissions, natural gas is still a source of CO2.
32
In addition, methane is a potent greenhouse gas itself, having nearly 24 times the impact of CO2.
33
During the extraction and transportation process, natural gas can escape into the atmosphere and contribute to climate change.
34
Natural gas leaks are also dangerous to nearby communities because it is a colorless, odorless, highly toxic and highly explosive gas.
35
That's natural gas.

このレッスンについて
「Natural Gas 101」を使って、シャドーイングで英語を練習しましょう。
毎日15〜30分の練習で、IELTSスピーキングへの自信と実践的な英会話力が身につきます。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
