The 1982 financial and operating information presented in this report indicates that the 97 Class A and B interstate natural gas pipeline companies reported assets totaling $64.9 billion, as of December 31, 1982, compared with $58.3 billion on December 31, 1981. Gross gas utility plant investments at the end of the year amounted to $44.1 billion ($40.1 billion); and net gas utility plant assets amounted to $24.2 billion ($21.8 billion). The Class A and B pipeline companies reported total gas operating revenues of $64.2 billion, reflecting the effects of inflation and higher purchased gas costs. Sales of natural gas decreased from 17.8 trillion cubic feet in 1981 to 16.2 trillion cubic feet in 1982. Sales of natural gas to ultimate consumers decreased from 3.3 trillion cubic feet in 1981 to 2.8 trillion cubic feet in 1982. Sales to other gas utilities decreased from 14.5 trillion cubic feet in 1981 to 13.3 trillion cubic feet in 1982. Revenues from these sales to ultimate consumers amounted to $11.2 billion in 1981 and $12.0 billion in 1982. Revenues from sales for resale to other gas utilities amounted to $49.4 billion in 1982 and $42.1 billion in 1981. The total number of natural gas customers was 6,669,932 in 1982, compared with 6,429,447 in 1981. Of these, ultimate consumers totaled 6,666,947 (6,426,546) and 2985 (2901) wholesale gas utility customers. The collection of financial and operating statistics on the natural gas industry reported here is limited under the Natural Gas Act to that segment of the industry subject to the FERC's regulatory jurisdiction. Thus, the collected statistics represent less than full industry coverage.
