Gas supplies of interstate natural gas pipeline companies; 1977

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5988878
This report provides a statistical summary of the year-end 1977 total reserves and deliverability of the interstate pipeline companies and pertinent comparisons with information developed from Form 15 annual reports filed over the preceding 14 years. Total dedicated domestic gas reserves owned and controlled by interstate pipeline companies declined in 1977 by 5.4 trillion cubic feet, or 5.5%, from 98.3 trillion cubic feet at the beginning of the year to 92.9 trillion cubic feet at the end of the year. A five-year tabulation shows that domestic interstate gas reserves have declined from 146.9 trillion cubic feet at the beginning of 1973 to 92.9 trillion cubic feet at the end of 1977, a decline of 54.0 trillion cubic feet, or 36.8%. The reported peak of 198.1 trillion cubic feet was at year-end 1967. Total net revisions to interstate gas reserves during 1977 are calculated at approximately minus 253 billion cubic feet. For 1976 the total net revisions were calculated to be a minus 1.2 trillion cubic feet.
