NATURAL GAS

Natural gas and one of the best sources of energy, and fossil fuels
like oil and coal, are in the ground from the remains of plants and
animals live and molecules that lived millions of years ago.
Compound and natural gas has no color nor form nor smell. It
was before the discovery of ways to use it burn in the air to get
rid of it. There are natural gas to oil in the reservoirs located at
depths ranging between one kilometer and two kilometers below
the surface of the earth, and there alone in the depths of greater,
and is therefore extracted from the earth in two forms:
1 - associated gas; there is a gas that is associated with crude
oil and the laboratories Pferzh him.
2 - non-associated gas; there is a gas in a manner independent
of crude oil and treat the plants and prepared for distribution

Among the most important features of natural gas that fuels
an active and economically viable and less damaging to the
environment.
Natural gas is the fastest growing primary energy sources in
the world during the last three decades, due to its
characteristics and its advantages.

Has grown the natural gas industry in Saudi Arabia, growth,
and increased demand for them steadily beginning in 1975.
Has become the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia occupies fourth
place in the natural gas reserves in the world (after Russia,
Iran and Qatar) confirmed reserves of 235 trillion cubic feet,
while the longer the day of the first ten countries in the
production. With the accession project to develop natural gas
and oil in a gas network incited to the country's major
processing power to be General of the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia has reached to around 9 billion cubic feet was standard
cubic per day.
BASIC USES:

Supports the natural gas industry Arabia today a number of
key sectors such as petrochemicals, steel, cement, power
generation, water desalination.
The sales gas is distributed to these sectors as follows:
@ 40% of this consumption generates electricity.
@ 21% is consumed in the manufacture of petrochemicals,
fuel and valuable for the production of plastics and industrial
chemicals, which are for export.
@ 17% is consumed as fuel for sea water desalination plants,
which is one of the most important sources of drinking water
in the country, where Saudi Arabia is one of the largest states
in per capita consumption of drinking water in the world.
@ 14% is consumed for the petroleum industry, particularly in
support of the Master Gas System, and lift capacity.
BASIC USES:

@ 8% is consumed for other industries such as steel and
cement.
And contribute to an essential contribution of these sectors
in the Saudi economy, they produce a cash stream of $ 25
billion, equal to 15% of GDP in the Saudi economy, and
provide 35 thousand direct jobs and 150 thousand jobs
related to the industry.
NATURAL GAS IN OUR LIVES

Natural gas has become a daily need. It is widely used as fuel for cooking,
heating and water heating. It is an effective fuel for power generation,
especially gas turbine systems using high feasibility, playing an integral role
for the production of clean electricity production high efficiency. It is very
necessary for the desalination of water. And indispensable to the growth of
the petrochemical industry Saudi Arabia, which has its production is
currently about 10% of the world, using some petrochemical products in
the manufacture of electrical goods such as condoms, files, sockets and
cable-sheaths, etc., and in automotive parts such as door frames, windows
and cut transmission, hydraulic brakes and frameworks and pieces of
plastic and rubber industry, and home furnishings such as carpet types and
linen bags and pillows and mattresses to sleep, and materials for the
manufacture of textiles, underwear, shirts, coats, suits, and typewriters,
book covers and photographic films, insulation, paint, solvents, soaps,
detergents, and other things that countless
THE IMPORTANCE OF NATURAL GAS:

Natural gas is one of the most important sources of global energy
and presence in the land, as it accounts for 42 per cent of the
total world energy currently in use upwards of 19 per cent in
1980, while the dependence on oil in the generation of global
energy from 46 per cent in 1980 to 37 percent in 2006. Thus, the
global demand for natural gas has doubled between the periods
1980 and 2005.
The natural gas is also one of the most important foundations of
modern industry, whether petrochemical or other. As this article
from the strategic importance for each of the world, these
countries are constantly searching and prospecting hard to raise
their reserves of it.
COMPONENTS OF NATURAL GAS:

Natural gas consists mainly of methane, the simplest
hydrocarbon gases, where the convergence rate of methane in
natural gas 90 per cent. And natural gas (LNG) LNG. It seems
clear that natural gas and Mosul through a network of pipes is
different from natural gas (LNG) is simple because it contains
nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide.
TYPES OF NATURAL GAS:

Natural Gas: is a combination of materials that exist in

Beneath the surface of the earth and is often the natural gas was
with crude oil, either dissolved or floating on its surface and in
this case is called this type of gas, "gas attendant."
There are also fields that contain only natural gas and is the socalled "free gas" and all the components Alhdrokrboneh of natural
gas is a kind of chained light flammable easily the presence of air
