Crazy question about Natural Gas

[offroadaudio]

Anybody know how it is gathered? I have 64 acres in PA - just had a crazy thought that I might be able to extract my own.
-without blowing myself up.........
What is the process on the large scale and might it be simplified and scaled down like a small oil rig or micro hydro?

Thanks

Well I found this on Wiki:

Natural gas is often informally referred to as simply gas, especially when compared to other energy sources such as electricity. Before natural gas can be used as a fuel, it must undergo extensive processing to remove almost all materials other than methane. The by-products of that processing include ethane, propane, butanes, pentanes and higher molecular weight hydrocarbons, elemental sulfur, and sometimes helium and nitrogen.
