The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
Total sales from any field. Also, those sales made by a pipeline which occur in the gas supply areas and which typically do not require any part of the pipeline's transmission facilities.
Industry:Energy
A factor used to account for the following effect: Boyle's law for gases states that the specific weight of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute pressure, the temperature remaining constant. All gases deviate from this law by varying amounts, and within the range of conditions ordinarily encountered in the natural gas industry, the actual specific weight under the higher pressure is usually greater than the theoretical. The factor used to reflect this deviation from the ideal gas law in gas measurement with an orifice meter is called the "supercompressibility factor Fpv". The factor is used to calculate actual volumes from volumes at standard temperatures and pressures from actual volumes. The factor is of increasing importance at high pressures and low temperatures.
Industry:Energy
A pilot that burns without turn-down throughout the entire time the burner assembly is in service, whether the main burner is firing or not.
Industry:Energy
Contract sale of natural gas by producer to end user or local distribution company, usually for a term of a year or longer.
Industry:Energy
Matter which is readily vaporizable at a relatively low temperature.
Industry:Energy
The adjustments to historic or base period data to include the annual effect of changes in sales, revenues, and gas expenses (including Plant) to reflect differences from expected normal weather patterns or which are known and measurable with reasonable accuracy at the time of the filing and which will become effective by the end of the Test Period. See NORMALIZATION, ACCOUNTING.
