Natural gas represents nearly one-quarter of the world’s energy resources. More than half of American homes
rely on it as their main heating fuel. It serves as the raw material necessary in everyday paints, plastics,
medicines and explosives. It produces the cleanest of all fossil fuels. It is natural gas—and everybody should
acquire a basic understanding of it. This valuable easy-to-use reference supplies all the basics that every
person should know about the natural gas industry. Introductory engineers, managers and analysts will benefit
from this informative, practical handbook. Natural gas remains a vital component of all energy sources, and
with an increasing demand for information on this useful energy source, Natural Gas: A Basic Handbook is an
essential tool for anyone involved in the energy industry.
