Energy data report: natural gas deliveries and curtailments to end-use customers and potential needs for additional alternate fuels: 1979-1980 heating season (November-March)
Data in this report are based on tabulations of an Energy Information Administration, United States Department of Energy, survey of 1478 gas companies (utilities, pipelines, and producers) that supply natural gas to end-use customers. Tables presented provide data on volumes of end-use customer deliveries, curtailments, and alternate fuel needs to offset gas curtailments. The information included deal only with markets for end-use. Volumes of gas for resale, delivered or curtailed are excluded. The tables provided are tabulations of gas company survey responses, compiled for the 1978-1979 actual and 1979-1980 projected heating seasons (5-month period, November through March) for State, DOE Region and total United States. Projected data are estimated by gas companies based on the assumptions of normal winter demand in their market areas. Actual data are based on metered volumes. Curtailments represent volumetric reductions from contract quantities, from normal historical quantities or from other bases the reporting firm has selected. Each respondent is allowed the latitude to formulate a curtailment definition that best reflects the conditions within his service area. Therefore, there is no comparability between respondent's data. The method utilized the first year (base year) must be used for all subsequent years. Requirements are defined as the sum of deliveries and curtailments. Totals between tables may show minor differences. These differences stem from reporting discrepancies in separate sections of company questionnaire returns from which these tables were tabulated. Table totals may not add due to independent rounding. Projected data for th 1978-1979 heating season are final tabulations of an earlier survey and may show minor differences from data previously published. All volumes are at 14.73 psia at 60/sup 0/F.
