Where do you find natural gas?

texas
Check out Wikipedia! It has great information and links to outside sources if your teacher's have problems with Wikipedia! I use it for anything I need to know.
Usually where there are oil deposits and sometimes drilling or mining you will hit gas pockets.
It´s found underground... here´s some good information.
Natural gas can be hard to find since it can be trapped in porous rocks deep underground. Scientists use many methods to find natural gas deposits. They may look at surface rocks to find clues about underground formations. They may set off small explosions or drop heavy weights on the surface and record the sound waves as they bounce back from the rock layers underground. They also may measure the gravitational pull of rock masses deep within the earth.
If test results are promising, the scientists may recommend drilling to find the natural gas deposits. Natural gas wells average 6,000 feet deep and can cost more than $75 per foot to drill, so it's important to choose sites carefully. On average, 27 out of every 100 exploratory wells produce gas. The others come up "dry." (The odds are better f or developmental wells-wells drilled on known gas fields. On average, 80 out of every 100 developmental wells yield gas.) Natural gas can be found in pockets by itself or in petroleum deposits.

heres a source that is too often overlooked, and this is not a joke at all, straight from the toilet !! sewage treatment plants churn and digest "poop" that actually produces a LOT of methane, if it were a sealed system to collect and USE this methane.. running burners to power a steam turbine and producing electricity, it is possible these sewage treatment plants would need far less or no power from "the grid". methane burns pretty darn cleanly, this would be a better option than just releasing it to the air, or burning it without using it as many treatment plants do.
There are 2 main sources of natural gas: one is coal-seam natural gas- that is, along with coal deposits. The second is in conjunction with certain salt domes, sometimes found with crude oil. The salt layers trap the gas, which formed millions of years ago from the decompsition of plant matter. The coal acts in a similar way to hols the gas underground under pressure.
