The Natural Gas Reddit
Natural gas is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, with other hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and hydrogen sulfide.
Natural gas is an energy source often used for heating, cooking, and electricity generation. It is also used as fuel for vehicles and as a chemical feedstock in the manufacture of plastics and other commercially important organic chemicals.
Natural gas is found in deep underground natural rock formations or associated with other hydrocarbon reservoirs in coal beds and as methane clathrates. Petroleum is also another resource found in proximity to and with natural gas. Most natural gas was created over time by two mechanisms: biogenic and thermogenic. Biogenic gas is created by methanogenic organisms in marshes, bogs, landfills, and shallow sediments. Deeper in the earth, at greater temperature and pressure, thermogenic gas is created from buried organic material.

I am a 'convicted felon" (NonViolent - Criminal Trespass) living in NE Pennsylvania and I'm looking for Liquid natural gas companies that hire felons. I have 2 years experience in the oilfileds in West Texas, but because Im still on parole unttil November, I cant travel for work. (Yeah, I know...) Anyone out there have any experience with this or know companies that will hire a guy like me?
SUCCESSFUL REFERRAL ELIGIBLE FOR CASH REWARD, NO BS
Currently I have a single natural gas connection on my deck. I have a Tee connected to it with one feeding my natural gas firepit directly and the other feeding a 12โ hose which connects directly to my natural gas BBQ. I am looking to convert my Blackstone Griddle over to Natural gas and I am wondering if I can add another splitter to the end of the 12โ hose and then connect my BBQ and my Blackstone Griddle to that. Is that ridiculous? If so, whatโs the best budget solution?
I only have one appliance connected to my natural gas, my furnace. And I barely use it. My gas provider charges north of $20 per month for the privilege of being their customer, despite have zero usage 9-10 months of the year. I'm debating having them come out and disconnect service. But - I'm not sure if there are potential problems to the gas lines in the house. If there any harm in them not being fed for a year or two, or five? Is it ok for them to be "empty." Seems as long as they're capped off, it should be ok. Thanks.
I recently reported a potential leak with our mains provider after occasionally smelling gas. The leak is outside of our apartment buildings entrance.
Iโve noticed today theyโve written 20% LEL in paint on the ground near the mains gas line.
Iโve not heard anything from the company.
Is that level generally OK for an outdoor area? It seems high based on what Iโve read.
Hey yโall, I currently work in the natural gas distribution industry. As of now I am in the field almost done with my apprenticeship, I enjoy my job most of the time but it is so hard on my body.
My company has an employee tuition assistance program which could potentially leave me with a โfreeโ degree.
My question is which route do I go?
I have zero interest in management
Zero interest in engineering.
If possible I would like an inside/outside job. Where Iโm not stuck behind a desk everyday but Iโm not working in dirt holes anymore.
Honestly, I am terrible at math so anything heavily involved with numbers is a no go for me.
There are so so many jobs within jobs I donโt even know where to start.
Whatcha think?

This is it with the propane set-up. Between the silver hose at the top and the burner assembly is a male flare with an oriface.
I have a natural gas line and regulator, would I just attach that to the control valve where the propane in the picture is currently attached, then swap the oriface from a propane one to an NG one?
Hello. I have 16 years of engineering and management experience with a distribution company with experience in M&R station design, corrosion and cathodic protection program oversight and technical support, welding program oversight, odorizer installation design, greenhouse gas reporting, pipeline stopping and bypassing, project management, and more. I am thinking about starting up a pipeline construction and technical services company. I am nervous about taking the leap and am wondering if anyone can offer any insight on starting up a business and how to gauge the demand. Any feedback is appreciated.
