Abstract: The use of natural gas dates back to the period in which the Chinese used it for brine evaporation. As early as 900 A.D., they produced natural gas and transported it through bamboo pipe lines to their evaporation pits. In the nineteenth century combustible natural gas was discovered bubbling up through the water of a mill stream near Fredonia, New York. Recognizing the utility value of a direct source of a natural fuel, a well 27 feet deep was drilled into a relatively soft limestone formation. In 1821 gas was piped through wooden pipe lines to a few nearby homes for domestic consumption. By 1825, a transmission line had been completed which carried natural gas to the City of Fredonia for street lighting. The Fredonia Gas Light and Water Works Company, formed in 1865, was the first American gas company. Representatives from the industrys producing, transmission and equipment manufacturing companies formed associations for the purpose of standardizing methods and products. These associations have promoted research and the exchange of new ideas, which have contributed largely to overcoming the multiple problems arising from the rapid growth of the gas industry.
