		In many cases, as with oil fields the natural gas which is recovered in the course of recovering petroleum cannot be profitably sold, and is simply burned at the oil field (known as flaring).
		The natural gas crisis is typically described by the increasing price of natural gas in the U.S. over the last few years due to the decline in indigenous supply and the increase in demand for electricity generation.
		Natural gas is important as a major source for electricity generation through the use of gas turbines and steam turbines.

		Natural gas (commonly refered to as gas in many countries) is a gaseous fossil fuel consisting primarily of methane.
		In many cases, as with oil fields in Saudi Arabia, the natural gas which is recovered in the course of recovering petroleum cannot be profitably sold, and is simply burned at the oil field (known as).
		The gas is instead re-injected back into the ground for possible later recovery, and to assist oil pumping by keeping underground pressures higher.

		The lowland grasslands adjacent to the Marsh constitute an important transition area between the Marsh and uplands and have high value for marsh related wildlife, particularly when the wetlands are flooded and during periods of high hunting pressure in the Marsh.
		Because the Suisun Marsh consists of a large expanse of relatively flat terrain, it is attractive for utility routes (pipelines, wires, and cables) and transportation facilities (roads and highways, railroads, and air transport).
		The Marsh should be considered part of the BCDC segment of the California coastal zone and, to the extent possible under applicable Federal law (in particular the Federal Water Pollution Act of 1972).
