OSTI ID:6192925

Dry gas production during September 1984 was estimated at 1385 billion cubic feet (Bcf), 6.5% above September 1983 dry gas production. Consumption of natural gas during September 1984 was an estimated 1161 Bcf, 5.1% above the September 1983 level. Compared to the previous August, residential and commercial consumption were down 1.7 and 4.0%, respectively, industrial consumption was up 6.4%, and electric utility consumption was down 0.6% during August 1984. The volume of working gas in underground storage reservoirs at the end of September 1984 was 4.6% below the September 1983 level. The average wellhead price of natural gas in July 1984 was $2.58 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf). In July 1983, the average was $2.52 per Mcf. In September 1984, the average residential price of natural gas was $6.24 per Mcf. The comparable price in September 1983 was $6.16 per Mcf. The average wellhead (first sale) price for natural gas purchases projected for October 1984 by selected interstate pipeline companies was $2.81 per Mcf. In October 1983, the average price was $2.65 per Mcf. The average price projected for Old Gas (NGPA Sections 104, 105, and 106) in October 1984 was $1.51 per Mcf; for New Gas (NGPA Sections 102, 103, 108, and 109), $3.73 per Mcf; and for High Cost Gas (NGPA Section 107), $5.41 per Mcf. In October 1983, the prices projected for Old Gas, New Gas, and High Cost Gas averaged $1.34, $3.52, and $5.46 per Mcf, respectively. A telephone survey of selected natural gas companies indicates 1.5 trillion cubic feet of surplus deliverability is available for off-system sales between October 1984 and March 1985.
