Fact 3: Fact 1: The word gas was coined in 1650-60 by J. B. van Helmont (1577-1644), a Flemish chemist. Naturally occurring noble gases include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon. The first pipelines were built in China in 500 BC. The lines, made out of bamboo, moved gas which was used to make evaporated salt brine. He Ne Ar Rn Fact 4: Like water on Earth, oceans and rivers of natural gas exist on Saturn's moon Fact 5: WestAir Large Enough to Serve Small Enough to Care The United States alone contains 2.6 quadrillion cubic feet of technically recoverable natural gas.
