Company Profile:
The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
The maximum rate at which oil can be produced without excessive decline of reservoir energy or a loss in ultimate production.
Industry:Energy
The transportation for others (TFO) volumes being applied to the cost of service to develop rates. See SALES LEVEL, THROUGHPUT LEVEL.
Industry:Energy
A gas containing relatively large amounts of unsaturated and/or heavy hydrocarbon gases which burn with a luminous flame.
Industry:Energy
A precise listing of the quantities of gas to be transported during any specified time period. A nomination includes all custody transfer entities, locations, compressor fueled and other volumetric assessments, and the precise routing of gas through the pipeline network.
Industry:Energy
AFUDC is a component of construction costs representing net cost of borrowed funds and a reasonable rate on other funds used during the period of construction. AFUDC is capitalized until the project is placed in operation by concurrent credits to the income statement and charges to utility plant, based generally on the amount expended to date on the particular project. Effective January 1, 1977, FERC amended the Uniform System of Accounts establishing formulas for maximum allowable AFUDC rates.
Industry:Energy
Displacement transactions permit the lateral movement of gas through a transportation network. The configuration of many pipelines is such that it may not be apparent whether a given movement of gas is forward or backward from the point of receipt. It can be argued that all transportation service is performed by displacement as the physical delivery of the same molecules of gas is impossible. See BACKHAUL.
Industry:Energy
Natural gas storage facilities owned and controlled by a storage operator, quite often the interstate pipeline's affiliate. Capacity within these facilities is leased by customers, such as LDCs, who use the stored gas during cold weather. Leased storage gas is returned to the customer either in the market area (close to the recipient) or supply area (close to production).
