ABSTRACT
This repsart discusses the -availability of natural gas data,
the sources of data, the data deficiencies, and the cost of instituting
a data bank.
Natural gas, the largest source of low sulfur fuels, satisfies
one-third of the Nation's energy demand. The clean burning quality
of natural gas, coupled with the need for improving air quality
standards, necessitates greater knowledge as to the availability of
natural gas supply, the capability of transportation systems to market
natural gas, and the dependence and manner that the various consumer
sectors utilize natural gas.
The Bureau of Mines, with financial support from the Air
Pollution Control Office of the Environmental Protection Agency,
could establish and proposes to institute a natural gas data bank
which will provide such knowledge.
A complete and efficient data bank program will be accomplished
by using data sources which are credible, ongoing, provide a continuous
data series, yield specialized information, and are sufficiently
uniform for programing. Initially, data will be available from some
13 sources. The core of the information will be furnished by the
Bureau of Mines, the Federal Power Commission, and the American Gas
Association.
The data bank will show the dynamic phases of natural gas
supplies from, potential resources to proved reserves and annual pro-
-------
domestic and foreign supplies, located in the various parts of the
United States and the world, are linked to United States markets
and utilized by residential, commercial, electric utilities, indus-
trial, and other consumer sectors within specific geographical areas
such as Air Quality Control Regions. Information pertinent to natural
gas supply development rates, natural gas prices, current and future
consumer demands, and sulfur quality evaluations will become part of
the data storage bank.
There are apparent data deficiencies within existing data
collection programs, but for the most part such data gaps may be
reduced by modifying Bureau and other agency collection procedures.
It is likely that in the future other data sources, not selected at
this time, will contribute to the data bank as their collection pro-
cedures improve.
The cost of instituting the data bank will be approximately
$250,000, thereafter. Approximately $80,000 annually will be required

INTRODUCTION
Natural gas satisfies one-third of the Nation's need for
energy and it is the largest usable source of low sulfur fuel. Over
the last.quarter century, the demand for natural gas has increased, at
a rate greater than for any other direct energy fuel. The historic
market growth, coupled with emerging national environmental quality-
objectives, has brought about needs for new and more detailed
information concerning natural gas supply development, transmission,
and utilization. The Bureau of Mines, with financial support from
the Environmental Protection Agency, proposes to establish a com-
/
prehensive natural gas data bank. The data bank will provide a
centralized source of information regarding the availability of
natural gas and other gaseous fuel supplies, the capability of trans-
mission systems to deliver such supplies to specific markets, and the
detailed current and future gaseous fuel consumption patterns.
This survey, funded in part by the Air Pollution Control Office
of the Environmental Protection Agency, examines the sources and
availability of natural gas data and identifies the data essential
for initiating a data bank.
The immediate need for intelligence on so vital a fuel neces-
sitates the utilization of existing data collection systems. The
integration of the several ongoing data collection systems will provide
an effective core of specialized and detailed data suitable for a
data bank.
-------
The collection of natural, gas data has been a fundamental task
of the Bureau of Mines since its inception. The detail and quality
of information collected has altered over the years reflecting new
data requirements by the government, private institutions, and industry.
The Bureau's data sources are some 2,600 respondents consisting of
natural gas producers, processors, transporters, distributors, and
governmental agencies. The information is supplied voluntarily, in
recognition of the value of supporting a single repository of natural
gas data which can sustain an ongoing statistical program, publish,
and distribute information to the interested public.
The Bureau data, supplemented with the information collected
by the American Gas Association, who serve the needs of the natural gas
distribution and pipeline industry, and the Federal Power Commission,
which collects information in conjunction with the regulation of
natural gas sales in interstate commerce, will comprise the core of
the data bank. Additional data sources will implement the development
of information regarding natural gas supply, transmission, and
utilization.
The data bank will use data from sources which meet the
following criteria: (l) The data source is generally recognized as
a credible repository of statistical data; (2) the data are
available as a continuous series; (3) the data program is likely to
be sustained; (U) the data source provides specialized information;
and (5) the data are sufficiently uniform for computer programing.
-------
All known data sources were evaluated, and based on the criteria
discussed above, certain sources were rejected at this time for data
programing. For example, the data published by the financial services,
such as Moody's manuals, Standard and Poors, "Standard Corporation
Records," and Arnold Bernhard & Co.'s, "Value Line Surveys," derived
from individual corporation reports and releases such as annual
reports, proxy statements, prospectuses, and from "Form 10 K" State-
ments, filed by corporations with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, will not be used for data bank programing. While there
is no question that such financial advisory services provide a valuable
service to their subscribers, the information published relates primarily
to individual companies. Unfortunately the data reported for each
company lacks sufficient detail and the coverage of pertinent
information is not uniformly reported for each company.
Data screening will result in efficient data programing at
minimal costs without loss of data quality. Programing a data bank
with the information selected herein is preferable to burdening a data
bank with data from sources which merely provide redundant, irrelevant,
and discontinuous information.
The sum total of data that will be programed reveals apparent
data deficiencies, which for the most part can be overcome by the
modification of Bureau data collection procedures. In other instances,
analysis of appropriate data will provide information not available
directly.

SELECTED NATURAL GAS DATA SOURCES . :
, The three main sources of natural gas data are the 'American
Gas Association (AGA), the Federal Power Commission (FPC), and. the
Bureau of Mines (Bureau). Individually, these sources do not provide'
comprehensive natural gas statistical information. However, collectively
v
these sources, along with specialized, information published^by the
National Coal Associatiori (NCA), the American Association of Petroleum
Geologists (AAPG), the Bureau of the Census (Census), the U.S. Geolog-
ical Survey (USGS), the Bureau of-labor Statistics (BIS) , the
Potential Gas Committee (PGC), the Future Gas Requirements Committee
(FGR), .the Canadian Petroleum. Association (CPA), and the Oil and Gas
Journal (OGJ) provide an acceptable data universe for establishing a
data bank. Most of the above sources provide data on an annual and
to a lesser extent on a monthly basis. However, the data developed
biennially by the PGC and FGR, and the Census data available every
fifth year, are also helpful for making natural gas supply and demand
analysis. In addition, although Brown's Directory of North American
Gas Companies provides only limited end use data, it is a useful source
for specialized consumer cost information.
The geographic coverage of the information available from the
above sources includes municipalities, counties, States, regional,
-------
NATURAL GAS DATA AVAILABLE FOR A DAT.A BANK
Natural gas data generally may be classified into three broad
categories: supply, transmission, and utilization. However, the data
bank will not be structured principally to yield information in three
categories, but will be oriented to market supply-demand relationships.
Natural Gas Supply Data
Natural gas supply data represents three stages of supply
status: (l) potential supply or resources, (2) proved reserves, and
(3) production.
The potential or anticipated quantities of natural gas awaiting
additional development or discovery have been estimated by many. The
two most prominent sources for such information include the industry
supported PGC and the USG6. Although each employ different criteria
for determining future supply prospects, portions of their estimates
correspond. The USGS concept of potential natural gas resources is
more extensive; the potential resources estimate is approximately
seven times greater than proved reserves, and is defined as "indicated
reserves and undiscovered recoverable resources." The PGC estimate of
potential supplies is defined as probable, possible, and speculative.
The three category classification of unproven reserves provides a more
conservative estimate of potential supplies which is four times greater
than.proved reserves.
Exploration and development efforts continually strive to
convert potential supplies into proved reserves. The rate at which
-------
proved reserves are discovered a,nd developed depends on technology,
demand, and. economics. Proved reserves may be regarded as the current
inventory of supply, inasmuch as the location and ability to produce
such reserves has been established. '
Data are available which show the quantities of proved reserves
within each State, the amount of proved reserves associated and not
(non-) associated with crude oil, the proved reserves in underground
storage, and the proved, reserves dedicated for sales to specific
interstate transmission companies. Such information provides a current
view of the mid-term availability of known natural gas supplies to
markets. At present, the quantities of United States proved reserves
are approximately lU times greater than production.
In contrast with proved reserve and potential supplies the
natural gas supply immediately responsive to demand is production.
Annual production of natural gas by geographic areas reports the
amount of natural gas being supplied to markets. Less than U percent
of the domestic market demand is met by foreign natural gas production.
The importation of natural gas via pipeline and in the form of
liquefied natural gas (LNG), and the manner that such supplies are
integrated into the domestic market is available from several sources.
Data related to supply includes information on the annual
completion of natural gas discovery and development wells, the total
number of gas producing wells, and the annual number of abandonments.
Such data reflects the trends of regional supply development and the -
producing capacities. In addition, the economic factor of natural gas
-------
wellhead prices and the comparable prices of other gaseous fuels at
the source of supply is considered in the data bank in view of its
influence on supply development.
The "gaseous" fuel supply information will include data which
show the amount of manufactured, gas and liquefied petroleum gas
distributed in the market. Such supplies currently satisfy less than
2 percent of gas fuel customers and less than 1 percent of thermal
energy delivered by utility distributors.
At such time as synthetic gas is produced for commercial
purposes, appropriate assessment of supply and annual production rates
will become part of the data bank.
Schematic 2, Natural Gas Supply, illustrates the sequential
data pattern.
Natural Gas Transmission Data
Pipelines or transmission systems generally are classified
either as intrastate or interstate systems. Pipelines deliver natural
gas from the sources of supply directly to markets or to distributors
or utility companies which subsequently resell gas to the ultimate
consumer. Generally each natural gas transmission or pipeline system
has principal sources of supply and market terminals. Data are
available which show the significant sources of natural gas supply
available to each transmission system, the amount of natural gas
supplies dedicated to markets, the annual natural gas throughput, and
the market terminal for each transmission system. In addition,
information regarding the location of each pipeline company's storage

The amount of transmission of natural gas across national boundaries
and the importation of liquefied, natural gas by tankers, as well as the
price paid for natural gas at the source (the wellhead price discussed
previously) and the terminal (or wholesale) price, paid by the utility
distributor will be included in the data bank.

components.
Natural Gas Utilization Data
The data bank will include such information as natural gas sales
to utility distributors and subsequent sales to ultimate consumers and
the direct sales to the consumer sectors by non-utility distributors.
The utilization data may be classified under five categories: resi-
dential, commercial, industrial, electric utilities, and others. The
wholesale and retail prices of natural gas to distributors and ultimate
consumers, respectively, will be included in the data bank. Forecasts
of short and long term demands for natural gas demand by the major
consumer sectors prepared by FRC and the utility industry projections
provided annually by the AGA will also be included in the data bank.

Residential Consumers:
The residential market consists of over 38 million customers.
Natural gas is used for space heating, cooking, watetheating, air
conditioning, for operating clothes dryers, ornamental lighting, and
a variety of lesser services. The residential market consumes about
one-fourth of the natural gas delivered to customers. In addition
to natural gas users, there are approximately 8,000 customers using
manufactured and LPG and 2,000 customers using a mixture of natural
and manufactured gas delivered through utility mains.
The data bank will include such information as the number of
residential customers, sales volumes, and the cost of service. The
residential customers costs will be identified on the basis of
service provided and the amount of utility and non-utility service
will be quantified.
Commercial Consumers:
Commercial consumers consist primarily of businesses and
commercial dwellings such as apartments and hotels. The uses of
natural gas in this market are similar to the residential market.
Less than one-tenth of the natural gas demand meets the needs of the
commercial market. There are over 3 million commercial customers
served by natural gas and over 600,000 commercial customers using
manufactured and mixed gas and LPG. Over one-half of the primary
energy needs of the household and commercial market combined is
supplied by natural gas.
The data bank will include information for the commercial
market similar to that available for the residential market.
-------
Industrial Consumers:
The industrial market, excluding electric power generation,
involves over 200,000 customers who consume over two-fifths of the
natural gas delivered to markets. One-half of the primary energy
needs of industry is provided by natural gas. It is estimated that
another 2,000 industrial consumers use mixed and manufactured gas and
LPG. The industrial market is the most complex utilization sector
in that gas fuels are used in various industrial processes as well as
in providing the conventional heat-power-cool service.
The natural gas data bank will include natural gas sales to
industrial consumers by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC), and
industrial sales will be classified as interruptible or firm. In
addition, the data bank will include the cost of service to this market
and the amount of service supplied by utilities and non-utility
companies.
Electric Power Utilities Consumers:
The electric power utilities represent nearly one-fifth of the
market demand for natural gas. Approximately 13 percent of the energy
required by electric powerplants is provided by natural gas. There
are approximately 1,000 steam-electric plants in the United States,
most of which are capa.ble of using natural gas. Purchased electricity
or secondary energy is supplied primarily to the household, commercial,
and industrial sector. The household and commercial sector purchased
approximately 55 percent of utility generated electricity, and
electricity accounted for 17 percent of the energy inputs of this sector.
-------
The electricity purchased by the' industrial sector amounted to
I|5 percent of electric utility sales, and purchased electric power
accounted for nearly 10 percent of energy inputs in this sector.
The data bank will provide information indicating the volumes
of sales of natural gas to electric powerplants under firm and
interruptible contracts, the seasonal sales trends, and the cost of
supplies.
Other Consumers:
This sector includes consumption data for a variety of consumer
groups not classified among the four major consumer sectors discussed
above, and gas used and wasted, in the extraction and transmission of
natural gas to markets.
The deliveries of natural gas to municipalities and public
authorities for institutional heating, street lighting, etc., is
included within this category. Such deliveries account for less than
2 percent of the natural gas delivered to consumers.
The amount of domestic natural gas that does not reach domestic
markets because of transmission losses, changes in underground storage,
field use, flaring, repressuring, and exports constitute about one-fifth
of gross withdrawals of natural gas from reservoirs. Nearly a third of
gross withdrawals is reinjected. into reservoirs for repressuring. The
data bank will provide information that will show the pertinent geo-
-------
SULFUR CONTENT DATA
Gas from many natural gas fields contains no sulfur compounds
(sweet gas) and therefore presents no purification problems. However,
there are fields in the U.S. which produce sour gas containing a trace
to a significant percentage by volume of sulfur compounds. In view of
the highly corrosive characteristics of sour gas, few markets are
capable of using such gas which has not had the sulfur removed, and
good pipeline distribution practice calls for a total sulfur content
below 1 grain per hundred cubic feet.
The Bureau collects natural gas samples from gas and oil wells
and pipelines as part of a continuous survey of occurrences of helium
in natural gas. These samples are analysed by mass spectrometer and
all analyses include information on hydrogen sulfide content. Samples
are identified by State, county, field, well name, location, and owner.
Approximately 9?000 natural gas samples have been analysed as a part
-------
MAJOR DATA GAPS
Although it is difficult, at this stage, to anticipate all data
requirements and therefore to determine all deficiencies in information,
it is possible to identify the apparent major areas of data deficiencies
which are as follows:
1. Dedicated intrastate reserves—Data are available on
total proved reserves and interstate reserves dedicated
to markets, but the total of uncommitted or undedicated
proved reserves cannot be derived from these figures due
to the lack of information on the committment reserves
for intrastate sales contracts.
2. Interstate transmission systems capacities—Although
data are collected on length, nominal diameter, and the
number and horsepower of compression stations with
respect to principal interstate pipelines, several
categories of information vital to the calculation of
systems capacities are lacking. These deficiencies in
data include inside pipe diameter, operating pressure,
line gradient, and a consistent definition of what
constitutes a major line (some loop lines omitted from
reports of respondents).
3. Length, capacity, ownership, location, and
movements through intrastate pipelines (other than
utility gas mains)—Except in isolated cases, none
of the above items of information are reported.
-------
U. Distinction between firm and interruptible sales
in the intrastate market—This type of information is
collected on a regular basis for interstate sales only.
5. Consumption data for major county and/or Air
Quality Control Regions (AQCR)—Detailed consumption
information is available for many individual communities
served by municipal utilities or transmission companies,
but data are often combined for cities and towns served .
by the same gas utility companies. As a result, con-
sumption information for a number of large cities is
grouped with that of other municipalities of various
sizes located both within and outside of the same county
or AQCR, and in some cases, data for major industrial
centers located in different counties and/or AQCR's have
been combined. As a result a serious gap exists with
respect to information on gas requirements within some
of the country's principal industrial counties and/or
AQCR units.
-------
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REDUCING MAJOR DATA DEFICIENCIES
It is feasible, with the approval of the Office of Management
and Budget, where required, for the Bureau to alter its collection
procedures in order to fill some of the data gaps discussed above.
However, recognizing that data is voluntarily submitted to the
Bureau and the reluctance of the gas industry to undertake additional
or new reporting requirements which may require a sizeable increase
in reporting workload, it is considered desirable to balance the degree
of need for each item with the difficulties involved in its collection.
However, should a clear need for data be demonstrated, the industry
could be persuaded to supply the pertinent data. The collection of
new data may be successfully accomplished under the voluntary program.
Any judgement as to the need for a compulsory data collection program
is premature. At such time as a data bank is established and analysis
of data indicates an absolute need, for information which proves
impossible to obtain within the existing system, appropriate changes
can be made to collect pertinent data.
Recommendations concerning procedures to reduce the major data
deficiencies outlined previously follow:
1. Dedicated intrastate reserves—Gas industry firms
have in the past indicated a considerable reluctance to
provide this information and it would appear unlikely
that a meaningful response to this question could be
obtained on a voluntary basis. However, in view of the
limited number of States with significant gas reserves,
-------
it may be possible in time to overcome this data gap to
a considerable extent by further contact with key State
agencies.
2. Interstate transmission systems capacities--The
determination of a pipeline system's capacity to
transport natural gas to specific delivery points is an
extremely complex exercise due to the large number of
variables involved and few, if any, transmission com-
panies would be in a position to provide such data
. without the expenditure of considerable effort.
Consequently, very little voluntary response to
inquiries for this information could be expected. Even
in the event that the companies could be persuaded to at
least provide the data on the missing variables referred
to under major data gaps, the manhour expenditure
required for the Bureau to calculate capacities would
probably be prohibitive. However, an analysis of FPC
data on peak day delivery from transmission companies
to individual utility companies probably would provide a
basis for arriving at reasonable approximations of pipe-
line capacities at less cost.
3. Length, capacity, ownership, location, and movements
through intrastate pipelines (other than utility gas
mains)--Due to the considerably increased reporting effort
required of respondents and their reluctance to provide
data on an intrastate basis, this information probably
-------
could not be obtained on. a voluntary reporting basis.
Nevertheless, the final statement under Item 1 above is
also applicable to this problem.
h. Distinction between firm and interruptible sales
in the intrastate market—This data could possibly be
collected by means of minor additions" to Bureau reporting
forms 13^0-A and 13^1-A. These changes would require
approval of the Office of Budget and Management. <»
5. Consumption data for major county and/or AQCR
units—Although considerable effort will be required,
the degree of need is considered to be such that an
attempt should be made to fill this gap. A large part
of the missing data may be obtained by means of minor
additions to Bureau reporting form 13^-0-A. This pro-
cedure does not require outside approval, but it will be
necessary to apprise gas industry firms of the vital
importance of the additional data in order to secure the
maximum possible cooperation. Even if this is done, some
respondents will undoubtedly elect not to report on the
additional items or will, because of the limitation of
their own information collection and/or recording pro-
cedures, provide the data in a form other than that
requested, and considerable analysis and some estimation
will be required on the part of the Bureau. The degree
of success in obtaining consumption data for all counties
is unknown at this time.
-------
It is recommended that the missing information which
cannot be requested on Bureau form 13^0-A be obtained, by
means of major additions to Bureau reporting form 13^1-A.
This procedure would require approval by the Department
of the Interior; the Advisory Council on Federal
Reports, a group which provides liaison between industry;
and the Office of Management and. Budget. APCO support
would be required in order to obtain the necessary
clearance for this procedure. The same comments made
in the previous paragraph with respect to industry
cooperation in providing additional data for form 13^-0-A
also apply to the information which would be requested
on form IS^l-A.
In no instance will information supplied by
respondents to the Bureau be revealed^ in such a way as
to violate the rules of confidentiality.
-------
COST OF ESTABLISHING DATA BANK
It is estimated that the initial task of collection, analysing,
and programing a natural gas data bank', limited to the sources of
information indicated herein, would cost an estimated $250,000.
Thirty percent of the total cost is assigned to collecting data,
30 percent for analysis, and kO percent for programing. These costs
are in addition to those currently being expended by the Bureau of
Mines for collection, evaluation, and publication of natural gas data.
It must be recognized that at this stage of assessing costs, the
estimate is at best an approximation.
Although much of the data is available or stored on magnetic
tape, the orientation of tape programing does not lend itself to
direct transfer of information to the proposed natural gas data bank.
In addition, computer hardware of other sources is not compatible with
•chat of the Bureau. The Bureau Computer Center in Denver, Colorado
is equipped, with two 5500 Burroughs Computers.
-------
APPENDIX "A"
Data Bank Information Sources
The principal sources of natural gas supply and demand
statistical data essential to a natural gas data bank are the Bureau
of Mines (Bureau), the American Gas Association (AGA), and the
Federal Power Commission (FPC). The data pertinent to the needs of
these sources are collected from municipal natural gas utility
distributors, natural gas transmission companies, producers, and State
oil and gas conservation commissions. In addition potential supply
estimates are provided by the Potential Gas Committee (PGC) sponsored
by the Mineral Resources Institute of the Colorado School of Mines
Foundation, Inc., and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
The American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) provide
statistical data for North' American drilling activity, which show the
result of such drilling in finding new gas discoveries and new gas
supplies.
Supplemental natural gas consumer demand data for a number of
municipalities is available annually from the commercial publication
"Brown's Directory of North American Gas Companies." Data showing
electric powerplant demand for natural gas and direct sales to industrial
customers by transmission companies is published by the National Coal
Association in "Steam & Electric Plant Factors" and Main Line. The
NCA reports are compiled from FPC data.
-------
The industrial use of natural gas by Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) groups and Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas
(SMSA) is reported for every fifth year (1967 data is latest) by the
Bureau of Census. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes monthly
reports of wholesale and consumer prices and indexes for commodities
including natural gas. The Oil and. Gas Journal (OGJ) publishes
natural gas processing data.
Forecasts of natural gas requirements over short and long range
periods are prepared biennially by the Future Gas Requirements Com-
mittee (FGR) and annually by the AGA. Table 1 summarizes the forms
and timeliness of data available from the various sources.
Major Data Elements
The data which.will be programed into a computer is not limited
to the information discussed herein but the following information
constitutes the major data elements. The quantities of potential
natural gas supplies awaiting discovery and development are estimated
and published biennially by the PGC. The information is available
during the last quarter of every numbered year. The PGC classification
of potential supplies of probable, possible, and speculative fit within
the USGS classification of "indicated reserves and undiscovered
resources recoverable under current technologic and economic conditions."
Neither estimate includes supplies which can be responsive to market
demand until new exploratory and development drilling take place. The
potential supply information provides a reference basis for assessing
the prospects for natural gas for long term future markets.

The natural gas supplies which have been discovered and developed
as economically recoverable supplies are reported annually by the AGA
i
as proved reserves. The amount of such reserves dedicated to major
< .*
interstate pipeline systems is reported by the FPC. The major pipe-
line companies report the recoverable proved reserves by fields, the
dedicated gas supplies for future markets (through 19^5)» and the
claimed future contract additions of gas supplies. Knowledge of the
pipeline systems supply disposition and market link will provide a
base for determining the availability of supply to various geographic
areas during the short to mid-term period. The immediate capability
of supplies to meet current demand as reflected by natural gas pro-
duction is reported on a State basis by the Bureau and AGA. The PPG
furnishes data on the production and sales of natural gas going into
interstate commerce on a field and county basis.
Information with respect to the sulfur content of natural gas
is available from the Bureau1s ongoing natural gas analysis program.
Normally, natural gas delivered to transmission lines must meet stringent
sulfur limitations so as to avoid corrosion damage to transmission and
consumer equipment. However, natural gas flaring may comprise the most
significant manner whereby high sulfur bearing natural gas is consumed.
The long range availability of natural gas supplies from natural
gas producers and the pipeline transmission companies to State and
area wholesale markets involves the contractual arrangements between
the seller and the buyer. The contracts define the amount of natural
-------
gas reserves dedicated to the specific market over a period of time,
the daily maximum and minimum delivery requirements, the terms of
interruptible and firm industrial sales, and the degree of regulatory
control over end use, etc. In the event the above data is not adequate
for determining the availability of supplies to meet the needs of an
Air Quality Control Region (AQ.CR) , new data collection procedures and
authority discussed under "Recommendations for Reducing Major Data
Deficiencies" would be required to obtain such information.
The pipeline systems which deliver natural gas from the source
of supply to the gas utility distributor or to the ultimate consumer
are classified into two broad categories, interstate and intrastate
pipelines.. Data regarding the volume of sales for ultimate consumption
or resale, and the markets being served, is available for each
interstate pipeline system'from the FPC. Intrastate supply and trans-
mission data is not as readily available. The State sources of
intrastate data vary as to regularity and completeness of reporting
such marketing information.
Data on underground storage is available on a State basis from
the Bureau. The FPC reports on underground storage facilities for
interstate gas on an individual location basis. Storage systems
implement the marketing of natural gas by increasing the peak-load time
of pipelines. Gas storage fill-up normally occurs during the summer
months and depletion during the winter heating season.
-------
Most natural gas consumers are served by gas utility companies
who obtain the bulk of their supply from pipeline transmission companies.
In some instances, .pipeline transmission companies sell supplies
directly to the ultimate consumer. Tlie data regarding sales to ultimate
consumers is available annually from the Bureau, AGA, and FPC, with
supplemental information from Brown's, Plant Factors, and Main Line.
Such information permits analysis of natural gas consumption by major
consumer sectors on a State and, in some cases, a municipal basis.
The Bureau reports the annual consumption of natural gas in
each State for the following consumer sectors:
1. Residential
2. Commercial
3. Industrial
k. Electric utilities
5. Other consumers (municipalities
and public authorities)
The Bureau's data shows the total volume of natural gas consumed,
the total number of residential and commercial customers, and the value
of the gas sold by utilities as well as non-utilities (direct sales
from pipelines or producers).
The AGA also shows consumption on a State basis, however, AGA
data reports utility sales only. Direct sales from pipeline companies
to consumers are not reported. The AGA does provide industrial natural
gas consumption data for some 27 industrial classifications, similar to
the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). Excluding Bureau of
-------
Census data, this is the only source for annual information classified.
in this manner.
The FPC reports interstate pipeline sales to ultimate consumers
in categories similar to the Bureau. •
Brown's Directory provides detailed consumption information for
many individual municipalities served by municipal utilities and trans-
mission companies, but data are often combined for cities and towns
served by the same gas utility company. Consequently, consumption
information for a number of the large cities is grouped, with that of
other municipalities of various sizes located both within and. outside of
the same AQCR, and in some cases, data for major industrial centers
located in different AQCR's have been combined. The NCA Main Line report,
prepared from FPC Form Wo. 2, shows the industrial customers of pipe-
line transmission companies.
The Plant Factors annually shows the name and location of fossil
fueled electric powerplants and reports the volumes and costs of natural
gas as well as other fuels consumed annually by the respective plants.
In addition, the report shows the capacity and fuel use of the new
conventional steam plants and other gas consuming power generation
systems planned or under construction through 1975- Plant Factors is
prepared from FPC Forms No.'s 1, 1-M, and. 12. The NCA reports will be
used for programing; however, data will be corroborated with appropriate
FPC forms.
The following table summarizes the type of consumption data
reported by the five sources. The consumption data may represent
partial or complete coverage.

2/ Although information is provided on an individual
community basis in many cases, only combined data are
shown for a number of municipalities served by the same
gas utility company.
No natural gas consumer data i,s collected annually on an AQCR
basis. It is possible, nevertheless, to make consumption estimates for
those AQCR's that correspond geographically with the municipal con-
sumption information.
The apparent impossibility of breaking out natural gas consumption
information for a number of the major AQCR's from current data sources,
indicates the need for new data collection procedures. Collecting
information on an AQ.CR basis will require the cooperation of the various
natural gas suppliers and distributors that provide data to the Bureau.
-------
Generally, any significant expansion of the Bureau's data collection
procedures will require approval of the Office of Management and
Budget.
Data Sources Collection Procedures
Federal Power Commission—The FPC distributes three forms or
their alternates to interstate gas companies. Answers to these
questionnaires form the basis for several FPC publications.
Form No. 2 is completed, annually by Class A and B natural gas
companies (or Form No. 2-A for Class C and D companies). I/
•fc
The completed forms for a calendar year are returned to the
FPC by about May 1. The statistics are entered on punched cards and
on magnetic tape. The cards are used to assemble data for two
publications. The tape is available for sale. One of the two pub-
lications, "Sales by Producers of Natural Gas to Interstate Pipeline
Companies," shows details on sales of about 70 percent of all natural
gas produced and marketed, in the United States. This volume is avail-
able from the FPC about l6 months after the close of the reported year.
The second annual publication by the FPC, and based on the
response to Form No. 2, is "Statistics of Interstate Natural Gas Pipe-
line Companies." This volume shows financial and operating statistics
for Class A and B interstate pipeline companies in the United States.
It is available from the FPC in 10 to 12 months after the end of the
reported year.
I/ Based on annual gas operating revenues: Class A—more than
$2.5 million; Class B--$l to $2.5 million; Class C--$150,000 to
$1 million; and Class D—$25,000 to $150,000.
-------
FPC Form No; 11 is entitled "Monthly Statement—Natural Gas
Interstate Pipeline Company." The completed forms are received from
all "reporting" interstate pipeline companies as shown on Table 5 of
the report form. As of December 1969', the companies required to file
the monthly report comprised 3^ of the 109 interstate companies.
Questions asked by the monthly Form No. 11 concern income, revenue,
sales, numbers of customers, and operation and maintenance expense.
Two tables, regularly prepared from Form No. 11, appear once
each month in the weekly publication, "FPC News." The tables are
entitled "Receipts and Disposition of Gas," and "Operating Revenues
and Incomes." The tables show monthly data and totals for the moving
twelve-month period just ended.
FPC Form No. 15 is entitled "Natural Gas Companies Annual Report
of Gas Supply of (company name) to the Federal Power Commission for
the Year Ended ." The report is filed by interstate gas companies
having reserves of 50 billion cubic feet or more. Other companies
file an abbreviated form (No. 15-A).
The forms are submitted to the FPC by May of each year. An
annual report entitled "The Gas Supplies of Interstate Natural Gas
Pipeline Companies," is compiled by about October 1 and published about
April 1, or 15 months after the close of the year reported. The forms
contain gas reserve (supply) data by company from each field or source
of supply, but the publication summarizes the data by company without
the breakdown by field or source of supply.
-------
A magnetic tape containing all Form 15 statistics is prepared
by FPC and is available for sale about 12 months after the yearend.
The statistics in FPC publications generally represent only
that portion of natural gas that is defined as interstate by the
Natural Gas Act. A comparison made by the FPC of its data versus the
combined interstate plus intrastate data of the AGA shows that in 1968,
natural gas companies under FPC jurisdiction had about 72 percent of
U.S. reserves and accounted for about 69 percent of U.S. production.
FPC Form No. 301-B entitled "independent Producers Report" is
filed annually by producers of natural gas selling annually 2 million
Mcf or more under filed FPC gas rate schedules. The form names the
purchaser to whom the producer sells, the point of delivery, price,
and quantity sold.
In at least one instance (monthly tabulation of "Receipts and
Disposition of Gas," appearing in the FPC News), statistics published
by the FPC include only major interstate natural gas pipeline companies,
not all interstate companies. The tables are titled to show this
distinction. The number of interstate companies included in a tabula-
tion may be only 33 of the 127 total, but these major companies
represent about 97 percent of the total interstate volumes bought and
sold.
-------
U.S. Bureau of Mines—The" Bureau solicits natural gas supply
and disposition information from natural gas companies by means of
three questionnaires. The companies are asked to make a separate
response for each State in which they operate. The result is a break-
down by company and State of every question asked on the three Bureau
of Mines questionnaires. However, in contrast with FPC data which is
public information required of natural gas operators by law, Bureau
questionnaires are completed and returned voluntarily. The detailed
company information is not revealed outside the Department of Interior.
Such detailed information is combined with other company information
to provide State totals.
One of the questionnaires, Form 13^0-A, is distributed to all
companies and municipalities having gas distribution facilities but
not production facilities or interstate movements of gas. Form 13^-1-A
solicits information on supply and disposition of natural gas from
all companies having either production facilities or interstate move-
ments. The third form, No. 13^3-A, is sent to all companies having
natural gas processing facilities*
The responses to the Bureau questionnaires are summarized by
States and published annually in a series of tables in the "Mineral
Industry Survey, Natural Gas Annual." Some of the tables in this
publication are from sources other than the Bureau.
Natural gas supply tables in the "Mineral Industry Surveys"
report total U.S. natural gas production and consumption. However,
the tables do not show a breakdown of interstate and intrastate data.

American Gas Association, Inc.--The questionnaire used by AGA
to acquire natural gas statistics is entitled "Uniform Statistical
Report—Year Ended December 31, 19 •" Response to the annual
questionnaire reportedly represents 97 percent of the natural gas
-------
industry are obtained by AGA from conservation or regulatory commissions
and investigations of other secondary sources.
The AGA publishes an annual statistical report based on their
questionnaire, "Gas Facts - A Statistical Record of the Gas Utility
Industry." "Gas Facts" is available about 9 months after the end of
the reported year.
The AGA prepares natural gas reserves estimates which are
published in "Reserves of Crude Oil, Natural Gas Liquids and Natural
Gas in the United States and Canada, and United States Productive
Capacity." These reserves data are published jointly by the American
Petroleum Institute (API), the Canadian Petroleum Association (CPA),
and the AGA. The joint publication on natural gas reserves is available
about 5 months following the year reported.
In addition to the above published reports, the AGA has made
available to the Bureau of Mines some additional data which are
collected via the questionnaire but are not published.
The AGA annually publishes long term projections of gas utility
and pipeline industry operating statistics. Such projection shows the
sales and number of customers by consumer categories for nine geo-
graphic regions for one-year intervals through 1975 and thereafter at
five-year intervals through 1990-
"Brown's Directory of North American Gas Companies"—This
publication shows statistics of gas distribution and pipeline companies
-------
of the U.S. and Canada. The 8Hh Edition, covering 19&9 statistics,
was available in October 1970. The publisher is Harcourt, Brace, and
Jovanovich. The book makes no distinction between interstate and
intrastate gas in its statistics. In most instances, the publication
combines gas distribution data for all the municipalities served by a
gas utility company. It usually.does not show the gas distributed to
each municipality separately.
American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Inc.--Each year
the June issue of the monthly AAPG Bulletin includes statistics on
North American drilling activity for the previous year. These data
include exploratory drilling for gas, both numbers of wells and footage
drilled. The statistics are broken down by geographic regions, States,
and counties. The numbers of producing wells, not shown in the AAPG
publication, are available 'from the AGA.
The National Coal Association--"Steam & Electric Plant Factors"
and "Main Line"—These two annual publications are prepared from FPC
data. The format of the reports should be helpful for AQCR data programing.
Table 1 of "Plant Factors" shows the gas consumed as fuel by
each plant, the fuel cost, and the Btu per cubic foot of fuel used..
Table k shows the capacity and the type of fuel required for each new
steam-electric generating plant planned or under construction during
the period 1969-1975. Table 8 lists by regions (New England, Middle
Atlantic, East North Central, etc.) the average number of Btu's required
to produce one kilowatt-hour of electricity using coal, oil, and gas.
-------
Table k of "Main Line" shows th,e location of the consumer, the type of
industry being served, the type of gas sales, the price and the volume
of sales.
State Utility Commissions—The public utility commissions of
10 States producing 97 percent of total UoSe natural gas were canvassed
by the Bureau to determine what these regulatory bodies could furnish
on a regular basis about intrastate gas. The amount of information
available in a form suitable for our needs regarding sales volumes,
shipments, prices, consumption, reserves, and storage of intrastate gas
available from these agencies is not significant.
Future Natural Gas Requirements of the U.S.—The Future
Requirements Committee, an industry-sponsored agency, publishes an
estimate of future market demands for natural, gas on a biennial basis.
The committee's forecasts are compiled, from basic data obtained from
reporting participants representing about 95 percent of the total
estimated gas requirements of the U.S., and. not less than 90 percent in
any one region. Each company is furnished detailed, instructions for
completing the forms so that the same factors will be considered by all
respondents in making the forecasts.
Completed work forms are reviewed by regional work committees
which examine all data and estimate the requirements of non-reporting
companies. Before the information is published., a final review of all
forecasts is made by the Future Requirements Agency.
The publication reports projections of natural gas requirements
one, two, five, ten, fifteen, and twenty years in the future. Projections
-------
are made for each State, for each of 11 geographic regions of the U.S.,
and for total U.S. requirements. In all cases the projections are
shown for the following consumer groups:
1. Residential
2. Commercial
3. Industrial
k. Interruptible
5. Other
6. Total
The possibility of publishing data by Standard. Metropolitan
Statistical Areas (SMSA), which may correspond in many instances
with the AQCR's, is being studies by the Future Requirements Committee,
but this breakdown of information will not be presented in the next
biennial report in 1971.
Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce—Every five
years the Census Bureau publishes a statistical summary of the Census
of Manufactures which provides the most recent Census statistics on
fuels consumed by industrial establishments. The results of the 196?
census were published in late 1970. The principal value of the census
data is the breakdown of industrial gas consumption by Standard
Industrial Classification and by SMSA's.
Annually, about mid-year, the Oil and Gas Journal, published
weekly by the Petroleum Publishing Company, provides a survey of the
gas processing plants in the United States. The data includes the
geographic location of the plants, the capacity of the individual plants,
-------
and the average daily natural gas throughput and production. The
information, coupled with gas processing and gas analysis data available
from the Bureau, indicates among other things, the amount of natural
gas not processed and the source and quantities of such supplies. The
data will help identify the possible consumers of sulfur-bearing
&
natural gas supplies.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics—BLS publishes price information
on natural gas. At the wholesale level, prices paid by pipeline
companies to producers are available in the BLS monthly report,
"Wholesale prices and price indexes." BLS has an arrangement with AGA
whereby AGA polls 19 of its interstate pipeline members who account
for approximately 60 percent of the gas transmitted interstate. From
these data obtained from the American Gas Association, the BLS publishes
a monthly national index. .The index is based on 1957-1959 = 100;
however, beginning with the release of data for January 1971, the index
base was changed to 1967 = 100.
.At the retail level, the BLS coverage is much more extensive as
the data are used to develop the Bureau's Consumer Price Indexes for
23 cities. Pricing information for fuels is collected for 56 cities
every month by BLS. In 55 cities, the information covers the price
of gas used for cooking and waterheating. In 51 cities, the information
collected includes the price of residential gas used for heating, cook-
*
ing, and waterheating, and all of this information is used by BLS to
construct the Consumer Price Index.
-------
Similar to the Wholesale Price Index (WPl), the Consumer Price
Index (CPl) has been changed from 1957-1959 = 100 to 1967 = 100 base.
Also similar to the ¥IP, BIS publishes in its United States city
average CPI an index for gas in the monthly BIS publication, "The
Consumer Price Index." The national index, i.e. the United States
city average, includes prices from the 23 SMSA's for which separate
indexes are published in the monthly report. In addition to the 23
SMSA's published in the report, there are another 33 locations so
that 56 locations over all are used in construction of the national
average.
From data collected for the consumer price index, BIS has
developed a monthly report, "Retail Prices and Indexes of Fuels and
Electricity." In addition to national averages, this report provides
in Table 5 monthly bills for uses of gas other than heating for 23
SMSA's including Honolulu, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Table 5A
offers average prices of residential heating gas for 20 of the
principal SMSA's and omits the 3 warm-region SMSA's mentioned above.
Canadian Natural Gas Data--Some of the many available sources
of information on Canadian natural gas were examined in view of the
importance of Canada as a source of natural gas supplies.
Five sources of Canadian information were examined in some
detail. These sources show sales by consumer categories as well as
reserves, production, distribution, etc.
-------
The sources reviewed are:
1. Canadian Petroleum Association
"Statistical Yearbook"
2. Canadian Gas Association
"Statistical Summary" •
3. Dominion Bureau of Statistics
"Crude Petroleum and
Natural Gas Production
U. Mineral Resources Branch
Department of Energy, Mines,
and Resources
"Natural Gas Processing

APPENDIX "B"
TABULATION OF DATA BANK INPUTS
The availability of natural gas data from various sources is
illustrated herein in tabular form. The tables show the sources of
the information, the geographical unit (area for which the information
is representative), and indicates whether the data refers to interstate
gas, intrastate gas, or gas of indeterminate classification (data
which makes no distinction between intrastate and interstate natural
gas).
Data Headings—The natural gas availability data are tabulated
under thirteen subject headings, each one having a section number
as follows:
Natural Gas Data Section Number
Natural gas reserves I
Systems deliverability II
Deliverability of sources III
Gas well drilling IV
Natural gas production and wells V
Manufactured and mixed gas VI
Products extraction VII
Gas received by natural gas companies VIII
Transportation and storage EC
Natural gas deliveries X
Gas company employees and payroll XI
Data published less frequently than annually XII
Canadian data XIII
Under each subject heading in the tabulations is listed the
items of related information for which a source is available. For
example, under natural gas reserves is listed reserves by States,
reserves by geologic age, etc. A further breakdown under each of these
-------
items shows the nature of the details which are available in the source
reference:
Types of Natural Gas--The tabulation is coded to indicate
whether the gas supply concerns interstate gas, intrastate gas, or gas
of indeterminate or mixed classification.
Geographic Coverage—The unit of geographical area covered by
the source of information is shown by a code letter placed in the
proper column under one of the following headings:
U.S. total
State total
State-company total
(company totals by States)
Company total
Area, plant, or transmission
system total.
In some cases, totals for larger areas must be obtained by
inferrence from small units. Where a U.S. total is shown on the
tabulation to be available, it might be determinable only by adding
State totals. For example, the letter A appearing in the columns
headed "U.S. total" and "Company total" for an item .of information
would mean that the information is available by company totals with
U,.S. totals either included or inferrable.
Source of Data—The agencies and organizations responsible for
the principal source documents for natural gas information are shown,
abbreviated, at the headings of each table. Each organization is
assigned a code .letter which is used throughout the tabulations to.
identify that organization.

A footnote number is used to show the specific page number of
the form or publication where the listed information can be found.
These footnotes and their references are listed separately on a page
entitled "Footnotes." When the same information ±s available from
more than one source, the footnotes indicate all of the sources.
