Natural gas is contained in underground porous rock strata, including oil field gas, gas field, coalbed methane, mud-volcanic gas and biogenic gas, etc., and a little of it also comes from coal seam. It is a high quality fuel and chemical raw material.

Natural gas is mainly used as fuel, which can be used to make carbon black, chemicals and liquefied petroleum gas. Propane and butane produced from natural gas are important raw materials for modern industry. Natural gas is mainly composed of gaseous low molecular hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gas mixture.
It consists mainly of methane (85%) and lesser amounts of ethane (9%), propane (3%), nitrogen (2%), and butane (1%). Mainly used as fuel, but also for the manufacture of acetaldehyde, acetylene, ammonia, carbon black, ethanol, formaldehyde, hydrocarbon fuel, hydrogenated oil, methanol, nitric acid, syngas and vinyl chloride and other chemical raw materials. Natural gas is compressed into a liquid for storage and transportation. Coal miners, nitric acid producers, power plant workers, organic chemical synthesizers, gas users, oil refiners and others have access to this product.
