Gas supplies of interstate natural gas pipeline companies, 1981
This publication provides information on the total reserves, production, and deliverability capabilities of 92 interstate pipeline companies. The purpose of this publication is to provide information on interstate pipeline companies' supply of natural gas during calendar year 1981. The gas supplies of interstate pipeline companies consist of the certificated, dedicated, recoverable, salable natural gas available from domestic in-the-ground reserves; gas purchased under contracts with other interstate pipeline companies; domestically produced coal gas, liquid natural gas (LNG) and synthetic natural gas (SNG); and, imported natural gas and LNG. The domestic in-the-ground reserves consist of company-owned reserves including natural gas in underground storage, reserves dedicated to or warranted under contracts with independent producers, and supplemental or short-term supplies purchased from independent producers and intrastate pipeline companies. Total dedicated domestic gas reserves, owned or controlled by interstate pipeline companies, increased in 1981 by 1.2 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), or 1.2 percent, from 97.1 Tcf at the beginning of the year to 98.3 Tcf at the end of the year. A five-year tabulation shows that domestic interstate gas reserves at the end of 1981 are very close to the reserves reported at the beginning of 1977. Total gas purchased and produced from the dedicated domestic gas reserves in 1981 was 12.0 Tcf, up 3.0 percent from the 11.6 Tcf reported in each of the two preceding years. The 1981 ratio of total domestic reserves to production was 8.2, slightly smaller than the 8.4 ratios reported for 1979 and 1980. The gross change in domestic reserves is calculated at 13.2 Tcf for 1981. This quantity is defined as the difference between year-end 1980 and year-end 1981 reserves, plus 1981 production.
