Technical Report · Mon Aug 05 04:00:00 EDT 1985

OSTI ID:5391914

A preliminary compilation of information reported by interstate natural gas pipeline companies to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Form 15, ''Interstate Pipeline's Annual Report of Gas Supply,'' indicates that domestic natural gas reserves dedicated to the interstate market at the end of 1984 were 90.2 trillion cubic feet, a decrease of 4.5% from the 94.5 trillion cubic feet at the end of 1983. EIA's preliminary compilation indicates that the volume of natural gas produced from dedicated reserves in 1984 totaled 10.3 trillion cubic feet, an increase of 8.9% from the 9.5 trillion cubic feet produced during 1983. Of the 90.2 trillion cubic feet of dedicated domestic reserves reported at the end of 1984, 9.5 trillion cubic feet (10.6%) were interstate pipeline owned reserves, 80.2 trillion cubic feet (88.9%) were dedicated under independent producer contracts, and 0.5 trillion cubic feet were committed to the interstate market from intrastate supplies. Production from interstate pipeline owned reserves totaled 0.4 trillion cubic feet in 1984, 3.5% of the total production. Production from reserves dedicated under contracts with independent producers totaled 9.9 trillion cubic feet, 95.3% of the total. The remaining 0.1 trillion cubic feet is production from intrastate gas supplies. The 25 major interstate pipeline companies owned or held under contract 96.8% of the reserves and 96.7% of the production reported. The gross change in reserves during 1984 totaled 6.1 trillion cubic feet, compared to 5.3 trillion cubic feet during 1983. The reserves-to-production ratio was 8.7 at the end of 1984, significantly below the 10.0 ratio at the end to 1983. 4 tabs.
