gáztermelés

Gáztermelés refers to the process of extracting and producing natural gas, a fossil fuel composed primarily of methane. This essential energy resource is found in underground reservoirs and is typically extracted through drilling operations. The process begins with exploration to identify potential gas deposits, followed by drilling wells to access these reserves. Once a well is drilled, the natural gas is brought to the surface.

The extracted raw natural gas often contains impurities such as water, sulfur compounds, and heavier hydrocarbons. Therefore, a crucial step is processing or refining the gas to remove these contaminants and make it suitable for transportation and consumption. This processing can occur at well sites or at larger processing plants. The purified natural gas is then transported through a vast network of pipelines to reach homes, businesses, and industrial facilities for use as a heating fuel, electricity generation, and as a feedstock for various chemical processes. Gáztermelés is a significant sector of the global energy industry, contributing substantially to the world's energy supply. Environmental considerations, including managing methane emissions and land impact, are important aspects of modern gáztermelés practices.
