Preparation for a gas well may take years. Drilling it may only take days.
Here's a simple look at how the process works...

Natural Gas
Natural gas is generally considered a nonrenewable fossil fuel. (There are
some renewable sources of natural gas; we'll discuss these later.) Natural
gas is called a fossil fuel because most scientists believe that natural gas
was formed from the remains of tiny sea animals and plants that died 200-400
million years ago. Raw natural gas is a mixture of different gases. Its main
ingredient is methane, a natural compound that is formed whenever plant and
animal matter decays. By itself, methane is odorless, colorless, and
tasteless. As a safety measure, natural gas companies add a chemical odorant
(it smells like rotten eggs) so escaping gas can be detected. Natural gas
should not be confused with gasoline, which is made from petroleum...

Natural Gas Wells Owned and Operated by
Homeowners If you operate a well
or have gas piped directly to your house from any producing well,
you are responsible for your own safety; that is, safe
control and use of the gas. You are responsible for the piping, pressure
regulators, and automatic shutoffs needed to keep the gas flowing properly
and prevent leaks into your home. Unlike gas from a utility company, natural
gas coming directly from a well may have no odor. When acquiring a house
with a gas well, or installing a gas line from a well, please have a
qualified professional utility contractor inspect the system and do any
installation or repair work...

Analyzer assist natural gas and oil companies with the production of their
natural resource. It helps to control the cash flows in and out of each
well. Well Analyzer also manages the statements and checks that are sent to
the investors. Please download the 30 day Trial Version and see for
yourself.
Natural Gas Extraction
Natural gas typically flows from wells under its own pressure. It is
collected by small pipelines that feed into the large gas transmission
pipelines. In the US about 20 trillion cubic feet of gas is produced each
year.

reducing the risks of exploration in unconventional geological settings
through the development of tools to detect often-subtle “sweet spots” prior
to drilling.
