Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6036812
Dry gas production (wet marketed production minus extraction loss) during November 1984 was estimated at 1401 billion cubic feet (Bcf), 0.9% above November 1983 dry gas production. Consumption of natural gas during November 1984 was an estimated 1597 Bcf, 5.1% above the November 1983 level. Compared to the previous October, residential consumption in October 1984 was down 0.5%, commercial consumption down 6.2%, industrial consumption down 7.5%, and electric utility consumption up 7.6%. The volume of working gas in underground storage reservoirs at the end of November 1984 was 5.0% below the November 1983 level. The average wellhead price of natural gas in September 1984 was $2.59 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf). In September 1983, the average was $2.67 per Mcf. In November 1984, the average residential price of natural gas was $6.12 per Mcf. The comparable price in November 1983 was $6.04 per Mcf. The average wellhead (first sale) price for natural gas purchases projected for December 1984 by selected interstate pipeline companies was $2.89 per Mcf. In December 1983, the average price was $2.71 per Mcf. The average price projected for Old Gas (NGPA Sections 104, 105, and 106) in December 1984 was $1.52 per Mcf; for New Gas (NGPA Sections 102, 103, 108, and 109), $3.77 per Mcf; and for High Cost Gas (NGPA Section 107), $5.32 per Mcf. In December 1983, the prices projected for Old Gas, New Gas, and High Cost Gas averaged $1.38, $3.54, and $5.48 per Mcf, respectively. 5 figures, 25 tables.
