The statement is - True.

Before the development of the new extraction methods, bitumen, and oil sands were not considered as part of the oil reserves in the world, and this was because in that time it was impossible to get an oil of sufficient quality with the already existing methods of extraction. Since people did not saw a practical and economically justified usage for them, they were not included into the world's oil reserves as such. This changed after the technology advanced and new extraction methods enabled that the bitumen, and oil sands can be used commercially, so nowadays they are considered as part of the oil reserves.

Read the section titled "Natural Gas." Why is the use of natural gas as a fuel becoming more common?

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The natural gas is used more often because it is much more environmentally friendly.

Explanation:

Most of the world, in order to produce energy for whatever purpose, mostly relies on usage of fossil fuels. The fossil fuels that are the most dominant when it comes to usage are unfortunatelly the ones that cause the most pollution. Those two fossil fuels are the coal and oil. There is another fossil fuels though that has always been in the background but is gradually becoming more and more popular.

The fossil fuel that starts to gain more ground is the natural gas. The natural gas is relatively abundant, easy for usage, transportation, and economically justifiable. What is also very important and gives it an advantage lately is the fact that the pollution form it is uncompearably lower, in fact, the methane that is released from the natural gas only does so because of leaks during its transportation.
