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.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
