Gas wells are structures drilled into the ground to extract natural gas, a fossil fuel found deep beneath the Earth's surface. These wells tap into gas reservoirs, allowing the gas to flow to the surface where it can be collected and processed for various uses, such as heating, electricity generation, and fuel for vehicles. The drilling process involves using specialized equipment to reach the gas deposits, often located in rock formations. Once a gas well is operational, it can produce gas for many years, contributing to the energy supply and supporting industries that rely on natural gas for their operations.
