Abstract: Natural gas was initially found as an unwanted by-product in the search for and development of crude oil. Unlike crude oil, natural gas could not be stored and t ransported in centalners or tanks. Certain amounts of natural gas were always found associated with crude oil and in the early days this gas, when produced with the oil, was burned in huge flares near the field production facilities. Substantial deposits of natural gas not associated with crude oil were also discovered in the search for oil and had to be capped and not developed because there was no available market. in those early years the only markets for natural gas were towns and cities near the oil fields which for the most part were not large population centers. Some industries including oil refineries were developed as a consequence of the new oil supplies and rarely were sufficient to utilize the volumes of gas being produced with the crude oil.
