The world's largest natural gas

Do you know what natural gas is? What is its main function? Let me tell you something.

The world's largest natural gas

▲ The largest offshore gas field in the world is South pars/North Dome Condensate Gas Field. In the Persian Gulf, belonging to Iran and Qatar, the recoverable reserves are 34.95 trillion cubic meters.

▲ The world's largest onshore gas field is the Ulungoy gas field, located in Yamal, northwest of Siberia Basin, Russia. Nenets * *. The gas field was discovered in 1966, with recoverable reserves of 8.49 trillion cubic meters. 1978 started production. It belongs to OOO Ulungeziprom Natural Gas Production Co., Ltd.

▲ The earliest and largest gas field developed by modern natural gas industry is Gustav Hughton gas field, located in Suhuade County, Gustav Hugo, Kansas, USA, which was discovered in 1922 and put into production in 1928. Geology belongs to Permian, with gas-bearing area of 8 14 square kilometers. The recoverable reserves are 2.29 trillion cubic meters. The helium content in this gas field is extremely high, reaching 0.3 ~ 1.9%.

Del Wei Ze is located in Akha, Turkmenistan, in the middle of Karakum Desert, about 260 kilometers north of Ashgabat. 197 1 year, while drilling, Soviet geologists accidentally discovered an underground hole full of natural gas. A piece of soil under the drilling equipment collapsed, leaving a big hole with a diameter of about 50- 100 meters. In order to prevent toxic gas from leaking out, they decided to ignite the leaked natural gas. Today, the flame at the mouth of the cave has never stopped. Locals call it? The gates of hell? . ? The gates of hell? This is a big pit with a diameter of about 70 meters, which has been burning for more than 40 years.

The carbon stored in natural gas hydrate is at least 65.438 trillion tons, which is about twice the total carbon content of all fossil fuels (including coal, oil and natural gas) that have been proved so far.

▲ The first gas hydrate gas field discovered? Russia's Mesoyaha gas field is located in the permafrost zone in the northern part of Russia's western Siberian basin, and is a typical gas hydrate gas reservoir. It was discovered in 1968 and started production in 1970. Some gas reservoirs in this gas field have been confirmed as natural gas hydrate stability zones. The gas field was closed on 1978.
