Abstract: Natural gas was discovered as seeps, in what is now known as Ira n, b etween 6000 and 2000 bce. When ignited , these seeps produced eternal flames having religious im portance. The first known natural gas well was drilled in Chi na in 211 bce. It was drilled using bamboo poles and primitive percussion bits to a depth of 500 feet, and having the purpose of prod ucing brine and natural gas trapped in limestone formations . By 1900 these wells numbered in the thousands, with depths greater than one -half mile. Produced brine a nd gas were transported via bamboo tubes to a processing site where the brine was emptied into cast iron evaporation pans. The gas was deliv ered to underground wooden facilities where it was mixed with air for use as fuel to e vaporate the brine and produc e salt.
