FPC releases preliminary 1975 statistics on interstate natural gas pipelines
The Federal Power Commission reported that 1975 sales by major interstate natural gas pipeline companies declined 7.7 percent, from 15.98 trillion cubic feet in 1974 to 14.75 trillion cubic feet in 1975. The decline for the previous year was 3.6 percent. Gas operating revenues for 1975 were $12.35 billion, a 25.2 percent increase over the $9.87 billion reported in 1974. The increase in gas operating revenues the previous year was 18.2 percent. Major interstate natural gas pipeline companies are those whose combined sales for resale and gas transported (interstate) or stored for a fee exceeded 50 billion cubic feet during the preceding calendar year. 34 companies met this criterion in 1975, the same as 1974. These major companies accounted for 83 percent of total gas purchases by FPC-regulated pipeline companies from producers and 89 percent of all pipeline purchases by FPC-regulated pipeline companies. They account for 86.5 percent of gas operating revenues in 1975 and 86.6 percent of gas utility plant.
