The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
A porous, permeable formation containing natural gas under pressure. Compare STORAGE, UNDERGROUND.
Industry:Energy
Accounts used for the accumulation of expenses which cannot be equitably distributed at the time of the charge. These accounts are cleared by distribution to other accounts on the basis of past experience, benefits received, or on some other reasonable basis.
Industry:Energy
Device utilising an orifice for testing metres at a pressure of 20 psig or more by passing gas or air through both the metre and orifice and finally discharging it at a lower pressure which maintains critical-flow (sonic velocity) through the orifice. The time for a given quantity of gas to pass through the metre compared to the orifice standard time corrected for test conditions provides a measure of metre accuracy.
Industry:Energy
Natural gas occupying all pressurised sections of the pipeline network. Introduction of new gas at a receipt point "packs" or adds pressure to the line. Removal of gas at a delivery point lowers the pressure (unpacks the line).
Industry:Energy
The annual efficiency ratings of furnaces and boilers based on average usage, including on and off cycling as determined by standardised Department of Energy test procedures.
Industry:Energy
The planning, development, improvement, coordination and evaluation of the safety component of integrated systems of people, materials, equipment and environments to achieve optimum safety effectiveness in terms of protection of people and property.
Industry:Energy
Those mains used primarily for injection and withdrawal of gas to and from underground storage.
Industry:Energy
A gas cap to an oil reservoir, not present at the time of discovery of the reservoir, that results from the release of gas from solution within the reservoir oil as the reservoir pressure declines, and its subsequent migration to the top of the reservoir due to the force of gravity,
Industry:Energy
A porous, solid residue resulting from the incomplete combustion of coal heated in a closed chamber, or oven, with a limited supply of air. Coke is largely carbon and is a desirable fuel in certain metallurgical industries.
