Natural gas is an odourless, colourless, flammable gas. It is non-toxic and lighter than air.
The gas chiefl y consists of methane (CH4), but also contains other hydrocarbons such as ethane, butane, propane and naphtha.
We differentiate between rich gas, dry gas and wet gas.
Oil and gas deposits in the North Sea were formed millions of years ago through the decomposition and transformation of organic matter (plant and
animal remains).
In its primary form, natural gas can be used for residential heating and cooking,
for industrial purposes and as fuel, or it can be converted into electricity at a gas power plant.
