A statistical summary of the year-end 1976 total reserves is presented along with deliverability of the interstate pipeline companies and pertinent comparisons with information developed from annual reports filed over the preceding 13 years. Total dedicated domestic gas reserves owned and controlled by interstate pipeline companies declined in 1976 by 8.5 trillion cubic feet, or 8.0 percent, from 106.8 trillion cubic feet at the beginning of the year to 98.3 trillion cubic feet at the end of the year. A five-year tabulation shows that domestic interstate gas reserves have declined from 161.3 trillion cubic feet at the beginning of the year 1972 to 98.3 trillion cubic feet at the end of 1976, a decline of 63.0 trillion cubic feet, or 39.0 percent. The pipelines continue to show a declining annual deliverability from their year-end dedicated reserves. This is expected because of the decline since 1967 in the volume of reserves dedicated to the interstate pipeline companies. Compared with deliverability estimates made from their 1975 year-end reserves, the current deliverability estimates based on 1976 year-end reserves are approximately 5 percent less in volume than the 1975 year-end estimates for the respective accumulated deliveries during the five-year periods following the year-end estimates.
