Projects show 'stranded' gas can help prolong marginal oil fields in Calif.

摘要

The Energy Department has launched a project in California to generate electricity using "stranded" natural gas, which is used to force more oil out of low-output fields.rnThe project will give a new lease on life to oil fields that would otherwise be viewed as no longer viable, and gas that would otherwise be vented or flared will be put to good use, DOE said.
