Voluntary carriage, which occurs when a pipeline transports gas for another party without taking title to the gas, rose from 18.6 to 19.6% of total sales and deliveries of natural gas between 1982 and 1983. This continues a 10-year trend of voluntary carriage increasing its share of the gas market. Transport for gas distributors and end users rose from 360 Bcf in 1982 to 585 Bcf in 1983 despite a 12% drop in total sales and deliveries on the interstate pipeline systems in the study sample. Total revenues received for carriage totalled $1.3 billion in 1983, 10.4% of total pipeline revenues net of purchased gas costs. These figures indicate a growing role for transportation in the pipeline business. 3 figures, 1 table.
