such deposits were written off as “unrecoverable.” However, as the demand for natural gas has grown, many companies have rethought this assessment, pushing to see if tight gas deposits could be accessed. While tight gas is costly to extract, higher gas prices can make the cost worth it, especially if the gas has a composition which is favorable to distillation, allowing the company to extract several valuable fractions from a single well.

Normally, natural gas is fairly easy to access. When a deposit is identified, a well can be sunk, and the gas naturally flows into the well, making it easy to pump the gas to the surface and to distribute it from there. This is because natural gas is normally surrounded by deposits of porous rock, with lots of small holes for the gas to seep through. Sometimes, the gas literally pumps itself.
