More than likely, however, it could be a lot of different gasses, and not just "natural" which is more often methane. At the very least, geothermal heated water contains the gases from which the water has dissolved from the rocks around it. Even ordinary tap water has gas in it ...hydrogen and oxygen.

Natural gas is methane primarily. It is slightly soluable in water just as are other hydrocarbon constituents. I am a geologist in the environmental field. Hot water under pressure can dissolve even more constituents than water at the surface. Most of the natural gas will however still remain in the gaseous state and both water and gas will be forced up through cracks and pores due to its lower density. The water and natural gas will interact with the rock and soil it flows through dissolving some minerals and elements in some places and deposit them in others.

Could contain a little depending on the formation it comes from. Natural gas is not very soluble in water as opposed to carbon dioxide which is.
