Advances in Natural Gas: Formation, Processing, and Applications. Volume 1: Natural Gas Formation and Extraction comprises an extensive eight-volume series delving into the intricate realms of both the theoretical fundamentals and practical methodologies associated with various facets of natural gas. Encompassing the entire spectrum from exploration and extraction to synthesis, processing, purification, and the generation of valuable chemicals and energy, these volumes also navigate through the complexities of transportation, storage challenges, hydrate formation, extraction, and prevention. Volume 1, entitled Advances in Natural Gas: Formation, Processing, and Applications. Volume 1: Natural Gas Formation and Extraction, provides a detailed exposition of the characteristics and properties inherent to natural gas. This book navigates through diverse formation and synthesis techniques sourced from both nonrenewable origins, such as coal and oil shale, and renewable origins, encompassing biomass, sewage, algae, and food wastes as viable precursors for natural gas. The volume further delves into the intricacies of extraction methodologies applied across distinct reservoirs. Additionally, it systematically addresses the associated environmental challenges inherent to natural gas.
