Chemically, it is mostly methane and thus is a member of the hydrocarbon family. Petroleum, too, is a member of this family. Natural gas is currently being found in many widely-scattered places throughout the world, but the gas which will be made available here will come initially from gas fields in the Southern United States and in the Southwestern Ontario peninsula. Later, the U.S. gas will be replaced by gas brought from Western Canada by the Trans-Canada pipeline. Natural gas occurs in porous (sponge-like) rock, many hundreds of feet below the earth's surface. The search for natural gas involves making detailed geological and geophysical studies, and drilling exploratory wells. When a producing well is discovered, further drilling is carried out to determine the extent of the gas formation. Natural gas will be transmitted from the gas fields to this general area by means of large diameter pipelines. Somewhat smaller branch lines will feed the gas into your community, and a network of even smaller lines will distribute the gas directly to your home. The heat value of a gas is measured in British Thermal Units— one BTU being the amount of heat required to raise the tempera- ture of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. The heat content of natural gas varies, but is usually in excess of 1,000 BTUs per cubic foot. For practical purposes, natural gas is con- sidered to contain 1,000 BTUs per cubic foot. In comparison, manufactured gas ranges from 475 to 550 BTUs per cubic foot, while the heat content of propane (bottled) gas is about 2,520 BTUs per cubic foot. When natural gas is properly burned, the only products of combustion are carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water vapour—all three of which are normally found in any pure atmosphere. Also, natural gas leaves no ashes, soot or scam. Natural gas can be used in your home for cooking, water heating, refrigeration, clothes drying, garbage incineration, space heating and air conditioning. Natural gas can be used by business and industry for these purposes, as well as for a host of other more specialized applications. It has been conservatively estimated that there are more than 25,000 different uses for natural gas. Natural gas is as safe as—if not safer than—any other fuel commonly in use today. The Canadian Gas Association, an industry-wide organization, has established an appliance testing program designed to virtually guarantee the safety of approved appliances. The Ontario Fuel Board—the provincial body which regulates the gas industry in Ontario—has established standards of installation to assure utmost safety (inspections will be carried out to enforce these regulations). And appliance and heating equipment manufacturers equip their products with the latest safety devices and controls. Natural gas appliance service will be provided by Union Gas Company on the following basis. Routine service will be offered during the normal working day and emergency service will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This service will be provided free by the company, but there may be a charge for replacement parts. What is natural gas? Where is natural gas found? How is natural gas found?
