Preface
The Natural Gas Monthly (NGM) highlights activities, events, and analyses of interest to public and private sector
organizations associated with the natural gas industry. Volume and price data are presented each month for
natural gas production, distribution, consumption, and interstate pipeline activities. Producer‐related activities
and underground storage data are also reported.
The data in this publication are collected on surveys conducted by EIA to fulfill its responsibilities for gathering
and reporting energy data. Geographic coverage is the 50 States and the District of Columbia.
Explanatory Notes supplement the information found in tables of the report. A description of the data collection
surveys that support the NGM is provided in the Data Sources section. A glossary of the terms used in this report
is also provided to assist readers in understanding the data presented in this publication.
All natural gas volumes are reported at a pressure base of 14.73 pounds per square inch absolute (psia) and at
60 degrees Fahrenheit. Cubic feet are converted to cubic meters by applying a factor of 0.02831685.

a Monthly natural gas plant liquid (NGPL) production, gaseous equivalent, is derived from sample data reported by gas processing plants on Form EIA‐816, “Monthly Natura l
Gas Liquids Report,” and Form EIA‐64A, “Annual Report of the Origin of Natural Gas Liquids Production.”
b Equal to marketed production minus NGPL production.
c Supplemental gaseous fuels data are collected only on an annual basis except for the Dakota Gasification Co. coal gasification facility which provides data each month. The ratio of
annual supplemental fuels (excluding Dakota Gasification Co.) to the sum of dry gas production, net imports, and net withdrawals from storage is calculated. This ratio is applied to the
monthly sum of these three elements. The Dakota Gasification Co. monthly value is added to the result to produce the monthly supplemental fuels estimate.
d Monthly and annual data for 2011 through 2015 include underground storage and liquefied natural gas storage. Data for January 2016 forward include underground storage
only. See Appendix A, Explanatory Note 5, for discussion of computation procedures.
e Represents quantities lost and imbalances in data due to differences among data sources. Net imports and balancing item for 2014 and 2015 excludes net intransit deliveries.
These net intransit deliveries were (in billion cubic feet): 57 for 2015; 27 for 2014; 54 for 2013; 57 for 2012; and 37 for 2011. See Appendix A, Explanatory Note 7, for full
discussion.
f Consists of pipeline fuel use, lease and plant fuel use, vehicle fuel, and deliveries to consuming sectors as shown in Table 2.
R Revised data.
E Estimated data.
* Volume is between ‐500 Mcf and 500 Mcf.
RE Revised estimated data.
Notes: Data for 2011 through 2014 are final. All other data are preliminary unless otherwise indicated. Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Totals
may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

a Plant fuel data and lease fuel data are collected only annually. Monthly lease and plant fuel use is estimated from monthly marketed production by assuming that the
preceding annual percentage remains constant for the next 12 months.
b Published pipeline and distribution use data are based on reports collected on an annual basis. Monthly pipeline and distribution use data are estimated from monthly total
consumption (excluding pipeline and distribution use) by assuming that the preceding annual percentage remains constant for the next 12 months. Pipeline and distribution use
volumes include Line Loss, defined as known volumes of natural gas that were the result of leaks, damage, accidents, migration, and/or blow down.
c Heating value is the average number of British thermal units per cubic foot of natural gas as reported on EIA‐857 and EIA‐176. See Appendix A, Explanatory Note 11, for further
information.

a The natural gas plant liquid (NGPL) composite spot price, shown in dollars per million Btu ($/MMBtu), is derived from daily Bloomberg spot price data for natural
gas plant liquids at Mont Belvieu, Texas, weighted by gas processing plant production volumes of each product as reported on Form EIA‐816, “Monthly Natural Gas
Liquids Report.” See Appendix A, Explanatory Note 9, for full discussion.
b The natural gas spot price, shown in $/MMBtu, represents the average of the daily closing spot prices for natural gas at the Henry Hub in Louisiana, taken from
Thompson Reuters. See Appendix A, Explanatory Note 9, for full discussion.
c Percentage of total deliveries represented by onsystem sales (see Figure 6). See Table 24 for state data.
d The electric power sector comprises electricity‐only and combined‐heat‐and‐power plants within the NAICS 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity,
or electricity and heat, to the public. Data include nonregulated members of the electric power sector.
R Revised data.
Notes: Prices are in nominal dollars. Data for 2011 through 2014 are final. All other data are preliminary unless otherwise indicated. Geographic coverage is the 50
states and the District of Columbia. Published residential, commercial, and industrial prices are considered to be total prices paid by end‐users per thousand cubic feet
of natural gas in the respective sectors, inclusive of all tax, delivery, commodity, demand and other charges.

a EIA has reduced the reported volume of gas imported by pipeline from Canada by the amount of natural gas liquids removed from the saturated natural gas carried by
Alliance Pipeline. Alliance moves saturated natural gas from the border to a processing plant in Illinois. After the adjustment, volumes of imported natural gas on this
pipeline are on the same physical basis as other reported volumes of pipeline imports.
b For the "Other" area the point of origin for volumes of imported LNG was unassigned in the reports to the Office of Fossil Energy.
R Revised data.
‐‐ Not applicable.
Note: In the case of missing import or export reports on Form FE‐746R, “Import and Export of Natural Gas,” EIA estimates the missing volumes using pipeline flows or
other available information. Prices are in nominal dollars.

Notes: In the case of missing import or export reports on Form FE‐746R, “Import and Export of Natural Gas,” EIA estimates the missing volumes using pipeline flows or
other available information. LNG re‐exports are shipments of LNG to foreign countries that were previously imported, offloaded into above‐ground LNG storage tanks, and
then subsequently reloaded onto tankers for delivery to other countries. Prices are in nominal dollars.

E Estimated data.
RE Revised estimated data.
Notes: For 2014, monthly volumes are available only for those states/areas that were collected individually on the EIA‐914 Survey (Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas,
Wyoming, and the Federal Offshore Gulf of Mexico) and Alaska. Starting in 2015, 10 states (Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kansas, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Utah, and West Virginia) were added to the EIA‐914 data collection and are reported individually. The remaining states/areas (Alabama, Arizona, Federal Offshore Pacific, Florida,
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Virginia) are grouped in the "Other
States" category. Monthly preliminary state‐level data for all states not collected individually on the EIA‐914 survey are available after the final annual reports for these series are
collected and processed. Final annual data are generally available in the third quarter of the following year. The sum of individual states may not equal total U.S. volumes due to
independent rounding.

E Estimated data.
RE Revised estimated data.
Notes: For 2014 forward, marketed production is estimated from gross withdrawals using historical relationships between the two. For 2014, monthly volumes are available
only for those states/areas that were collected individually on the EIA‐914 Survey (Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, and the Federal Offshore Gulf of Mexico)
and Alaska. Starting in 2015, ten states (Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kansas, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah, and West Virginia) were added to the EIA‐914
data collection and are reported individually. The remaining states/areas (Alabama, Arizona, Federal Offshore Pacific, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Virginia) are grouped in the "Other States" category. Monthly preliminary state‐level
data for all states not collected individually on the EIA‐914 Survey are available after the final annual reports for these series are collected and processed. Final annual data are
generally available in the third quarter of the following year. The sum of individual states may not equal total U.S. volumes due to independent rounding.

storage at the end of a reporting period may not equal the quantity derived by adding or subtracting net injections or withdrawals during the period to the quantity of gas in
storage at the beginning of the period. This is due to changes in the quantities of native gas included in base gas and/or losses in base gas due to migration from storage
reservoirs. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Alaska added to U.S. totals as of January 2013. Change in Working Gas from Same Period,

a Alaska data are not included in the regions’ totals or the lower 48 states total.
Notes: Existing fields include both active and inactive fields. Gas in storage at the end of a reporting period may not equal the quantity derived by adding or subtracting net
injections or withdrawals during the period to the quantity of gas in storage at the beginning of the period. This is due to changes in the quantities of native gas included in base
gas and/or losses in base gas due to migration from storage reservoirs. Total gas capacity may not equal the sum of base gas and working gas capacity, owing to changes in
operational conditions. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. EIA publishes weekly estimates of working gas in underground storage by
geographical region; in November 2015, region breakouts were revised from three regions to five. See Explanatory Note 5 in Appendix A for a list of the new regions shown in this
table and the states included in each. Beginning with January 2013 data, Form EIA‐191A is no longer used as a source for capacity data. Capacity data are now collected from the
Form EIA‐191. Change in Working Gas from Same Period, Previous Year, includes data for Alaska which had no working gas recorded for periods prior to January 2013. As of
January 2015, the Kimball and Columbus III reservoirs in Michigan are being reported under the Bluewater Gas Storage Field on a combined basis. In prior periods, they were
reported separately.

Appendix A
Explanatory Notes
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) publishes monthly data for the supply and disposition of natural gas in
the United States in the Natural Gas Monthly (NGM). The information in this Appendix is provided to assist users in
understanding the monthly data. Table A1 lists the methodologies for deriving the data to be published for the most
recent months shown in Tables 1 and 2. The following explanatory notes describe sources for all NGM tables.
Note 1. Production
Monthly Data
Estimates of gross withdrawals and marketed production for the Lower 48 states are derived from submission by
well operators on the monthly Form EIA‐914, “Monthly Crude Oil, Lease Condensate and Natural Gas Production
Report.” For 2014, monthly production volumes are available for only those states/areas that were collected
individually on the EIA‐914 survey (Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, and the Federal Offshore
Gulf of Mexico) and Alaska. Starting in 2015, 10 states (Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kansas, Montana, North

Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah, and West Virginia) were added to the EIA‐914 data collection and are reported
individually. The remaining states/areas (Alabama, Arizona, Federal Offshore Pacific, Florida, Illinois, Indiana,
Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, Oregon, South Dakota,
Tennessee, and Virginia) are grouped in the "Other States" category. The sum of individual states may not equal
total U.S. volumes due to independent rounding. (See the EIA‐914 Methodology for an explanation of the
procedure for estimating state gross withdrawals from reported volumes.) Gross withdrawals for the state of
Alaska are obtained from summary reports posted by the state of Alaska, Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.
Marketed production is estimated from gross withdrawals using historical relationships between the two. All
monthly data are considered preliminary up to the cover year of the most recent Natural Gas Annual.
Annual Data
Prior to 2011, natural gas production data were collected from 32 gas‐producing states on the voluntary Form
EIA‐895. The form requested data on gross withdrawals, gas vented and flared, repressuring, nonhydrocarbon
gases removed, fuel used on leases, marketed production (wet), and NGPL production (formerly known as
extraction loss). Beginning in 2011, EIA has obtained similar data directly from the states. The Bureau of Safety
& Environmental Enforcement also supplies data on the quantity and value of natural gas production from the
Federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Note 2. Natural Gas Plant Liquid (NGPL) Production
Monthly Data
Monthly NGPL production is reported by gas processing plants on Form EIA‐816, “Monthly Natural Gas Liquids
Report.” These liquid volumes are converted to natural gas equivalents using factors consistent with industry
standards published by the Gas Processors Association, and instructions to respondents to EIA’s annual survey of
gas processing plants, Form EIA‐64A, “Annual Report of the Origin of Natural Gas Liquids Production.” Separate
values are used for ethane, propane, isobutane, and normal butane. A value for “natural gasoline,” reflecting
pentanes and higher, is used. A separate value for isopentane is also used when reporting facilities have the
capability to separate out and market isopentane on its own. The value for natural gasoline also includes
isopentane ‐ this value is used when estimating the volumetric equivalent of “pentanes plus” produced. These
factors all are for “real” rather than “ideal” gas volumes stated at a pressure of 14.73 pounds per square inch
absolute (psia) at 60 degrees Fahrenheit on a dry basis.
Annual Data
The final NGPL production estimates, published in the NGA, incorporate information received from gas processing
plants on Form EIA‐64A, “Annual Report of the Origin of Natural Gas Liquids Production.” Monthly NGPL
production estimates are recalibrated to equate to this total.
98 U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly
December 2016
Note 3. Supplemental Gaseous Fuels
Monthly Data
All monthly data are considered preliminary until after the publication of the NGA for the year in which the report
month falls. Monthly estimates are based on the annual ratio of supplemental gaseous fuels to the sum of dry gas
production, net imports, and net withdrawals from storage. This ratio is applied to the monthly sum of these three
elements to compute a monthly supplemental gaseous fuels figure.
Monthly data are revised after publication of the NGA. Final monthly data are estimated based on the revised
annual ratio of supplemental gaseous fuels to the sum of dry gas production, net imports, and net withdrawals
from storage. This revised ratio is applied to the revised monthly sum of these three supply elements to compute
final monthly data.
Annual Data
Annual data on supplemental gaseous fuel supply are reported on Form EIA‐176, “Annual Report of Natural and
Supplemental Gas Supply and Disposition.”
Note 4. Imports and Exports
Monthly and Annual Data – Imports
Monthly import and export data are from Form FE‐746R, “Import and Export of Natural Gas,” from the Office of
Fossil Energy, U.S. Department of Energy. Annual data are the aggregate of the monthly data for that year.
Note 5. Natural Gas Storage
Note that final monthly and annual storage levels, additions, and withdrawal data shown in Table 1 for 2011
through 2013 include both underground and liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage. Beginning in January 2013, U.S.
totals include Alaska data. Prior to 2013, totals only included data from the lower 48 states. Beginning in
November 2015, new region breakouts of the storage data shown in Tables 12 and 13 were introduced, replacing
the Producing, East, and West region breakouts. The states included in each of the new regions are as follows:
East Region: Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont,
Virginia, and West Virginia.
South Central Region: Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Midwest Region: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
Mountain Region: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming.
Pacific Region: California, Oregon, and Washington.
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly 99
December 2016
Monthly Data
Preliminary and final monthly data on underground storage levels, additions, and withdrawals are from the Form
EIA‐191, “Monthly Underground Gas Storage Report.” All operators of underground storage fields complete the
survey.
Estimates of monthly LNG additions and withdrawals are calculated by applying the proportion of each month’s
net injections to underground storage during the injection season to annual LNG additions and the proportion of
each month’s net withdrawals from underground storage during the withdrawal season to annual LNG
withdrawals.
There are three principal types of underground storage facilities in operation in the United States today: salt
caverns (caverns hollowed out in salt “bed” or “dome” formations), depleted fields (depleted reservoirs in oil
and/or gas fields), and aquifer reservoirs (water‐only reservoirs conditioned to hold natural gas). A storage
facility’s daily deliverability or withdrawal capability is the amount of gas that can be withdrawn from it in a 24‐
hour period. Salt cavern storage facilities generally have high deliverability because all of the working gas in a
given facility can be withdrawn in a relatively short period of time. (A typical salt cavern cycle is 10 days to deplete
working gas, and 20 days to refill working gas.) By contrast, depleted field and aquifer reservoirs are designed
and operated to withdraw all working gas over the course of an entire heating season (about 150 days). Further,
while both traditional and salt cavern facilities can be switched from withdrawal to injection operations during
the heating season, this is usually more quickly and easily done in salt cavern facilities, reflecting their greater
operational flexibility.
Annual Data
Final annual data on additions and withdrawals from underground storage facilities are the sum of the monthly
data from the EIA‐191.
Annual data on LNG additions and withdrawals are from the EIA‐176.
Note 6. Consumption
Monthly Data
All monthly data are considered preliminary until after publication of the NGA.
Annual Data
All annual data are from the NGA. Total consumption is the sum of the components of consumption listed below. Monthly
data are revised after publication of the NGA.
Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Consumption
Preliminary estimates of monthly deliveries of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial consumers in 50 states
are based on data reported on Form EIA‐857, “Monthly Report of Natural Gas Purchases and Deliveries.” See Appendix
C, “Statistical Considerations,” for a detailed explanation of sample selection and estimation procedures. Monthly data
for a given year are revised after the publication of the NGA to correct for any sampling errors. Final monthly data are
100 U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly
December 2016
estimated by allocating annual consumption data from the Form EIA‐176 to each month in proportion to monthly volumes
reported in Form EIA‐857.
Vehicle Fuel Use
Monthly U.S. total estimates of natural gas (compressed or liquefied) used as vehicle fuel are derived from an annual
estimate of vehicle fuel use provided by the Office of Electricity, Renewables, and Uranium Statistics of EIA.
Electric Power Consumption
Monthly estimates of deliveries of natural gas to electric power producers are derived from data submitted by the sample
of electric power producers reporting monthly on Form EIA‐923, "Power Plant Operations Report," which replaced Form
EIA‐906, "Power Plant Report,” and Form EIA‐920, "Combined Heat and Power Plant Report." The estimates reported in
the NGM represent gas delivered to electricity‐only plants (utility and independent power producers) and combined heat
and power (CHP) plants whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public. For a discussion
of these estimates, see the Electric Power Monthly.
Pipeline and Distribution Use
Preliminary monthly estimates are based on the pipeline fuel consumption as an annual percentage of total consumption
from the previous year’s Form EIA‐176. This percentage is applied to each month’s sum of total deliveries plus lease and
plant fuel to compute the monthly estimate.
Monthly data are revised after the publication of the NGA. Final monthly data are based on the revised annual ratio of
pipeline fuel consumption to total consumption from the Form EIA‐176. This ratio is applied to each month’s revised sum
of total deliveries plus lease and plant fuel to compute final monthly pipeline fuel consumption estimates.
Lease and Plant Fuel Consumption
Preliminary monthly data are estimated based on lease and plant fuel consumption as an annual percentage of marketed
production. This percentage is applied to each month’s marketed production figure to compute estimated lease and plant
fuel consumption.
Monthly data are revised after publication of the NGA. Final monthly plant fuel data are based on a revised annual ratio
of plant fuel consumption to marketed production from Form EIA‐176. This ratio is applied to each month’s revised
marketed production figure to compute final monthly plant fuel consumption estimates. Final monthly lease data are
collected directly from state agencies’ websites where available. For states where these data are not available, lease fuel
quantities were estimated by applying an average of the states’ historical ratio of lease fuel to gross withdrawals . See the
NGA for a complete discussion of this process.
Note 7. Balancing Item
The balancing item category represents the difference between the sum of the components of natural gas supply and the
sum of the components of natural gas disposition. These differences may be due to data reporting problems or to issues
in survey coverage. Preliminary monthly data in the balancing item category are calculated by subtracting dry gas
production, withdrawals from storage, supplemental gaseous fuels, and imports from total disposition. The balancing
item may reflect problems in any of the surveys comprising natural gas supply or disposition.
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly 101
December 2016
Reporting problems include differences due to the net result of conversions of flow data metered at varying temperatures
and pressure bases and converted to a standard temperature and pressure base; the effect of variations in company
accounting and billing practices; differences between billing cycles and calendar periods; and imbalances resulting from
the merger of data reporting systems, which vary in scope, format, definitions, and type of respondents. Survey coverage
problems include incomplete survey frames or problems in sampling design.
Annual data are from the NGA. For an explanation of the methodology used in calculating the annual balancing item, see
the NGA.
Note 8. Average Price of Deliveries to Consumers
For most states, price data are representative of prices for gas sold and delivered to residential, commercial, and industrial
consumers by local distribution companies. Published prices are considered to be total prices paid by end‐users per
thousand cubic feet of natural gas in the respective sectors, inclusive of all tax, delivery, commodity, demand and other
charges. In the states of Georgia, Maryland, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, the residential and commercial sector
prices reported in the NGM include data on prices of gas sold to customers in those sectors by energy marketers. These
latter data are collected on Form EIA‐910, “Monthly Natural Gas Marketer Survey.” In 2008 through 2010, in the states of
Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, residential price data were based on
total gas deliveries, and, in the states of Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and
the District of Columbia, commercial price data were based on total gas deliveries. Beginning in 2011, however, residential
and commercial price data are based on total gas deliveries in the states of Georgia, New York and Ohio only. Residential
and commercial sector prices reported in the NGM include data on prices of gas sold to customers in those states by
energy marketers as data quality becomes acceptable. Except for these states, none of the prices reflect average prices
of natural gas transported to consumers for the account of third parties. Table 24 indicates the percentage of total
deliveries included in residential, commercial, and industrial price estimates.
Prices of natural gas delivered to the electric power sector are derived from data reported on the Form EIA‐923, "Power
Plant Operations Report." Prices from these surveys are also published in the Electric Power Monthly.
Note 9. NGPL Composite Spot Price and Natural Gas Spot Price
Monthly Data
The natural gas plant liquids (NGPL) composite price published in the NGM is derived from spot price data at Mont
Belvieu, Texas, from Bloomberg. Daily closing spot prices for ethane, propane, butane, isobutane, and natural
gasoline (pentanes plus) are each averaged into a monthly series, then weighted according to the portion of a
representative natural gas plant liquids barrel that they occupy. Volume weights are updated monthly using the
latest available data collected on Form EIA‐816, Monthly Natural Gas Liquids Report. The NGPL composite price
excludes natural gas liquids produced at crude oil refineries.
Bloomberg spot price data for each natural gas liquids (NGL) product are in cents per gallon. EIA converts these
prices into dollars per barrel. Using heat conversion factors from Table A1 in the appendix of the Annual Energy
Review, “Approximate Heat Content of Petroleum Products,” the prices are converted to dollars per million British
thermal units (MMBtu) for each natural gas liquid.
102 U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly
December 2016
The NGPL composite spot price is calculated as:
∗
where:
P = the NGPL composite spot price in dollars per MMBtu,
pi = the monthly spot price for natural gas liquids product i in dollars per MMBtu,
V = the total volume of natural gas plant liquids produced in the report month,
vi = the monthly production volume for natural gas plant liquids product i.
The natural gas spot price is the simple average of the daily closing spot prices for natural gas at the Henry Hub in
Louisiana. This series is published by Thompson Reuters and republished by EIA with permission.
Annual Data
The annual NGPL composite spot price represents the average cost of a representative barrel of NGPL in a given
year. This annual figure is calculated as the total cost of all NGPL products sold, as priced at Mont Belvieu, divided
by the total volume of all NGPL products produced for the year derived by summing the months of natural gas
plant liquids production data collected on Form EIA‐816.
The annual natural gas spot price represents the average of daily closing spot prices for dry natural gas at the
Henry Hub in Louisiana in a given year.
Note 10. Heating Degree‐Days
Degree‐days are relative measurements of outdoor air temperature. Heating degree‐days are deviations of the mean
daily temperature below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. A weather station recording a mean daily temperature of 40 degrees
Fahrenheit would report 25 heating degree‐days. There are several degree‐day databases maintained by the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The information published in the NGM, is developed by the National Weather
Service Climate Analysis Center, Camp Springs, Maryland.
The data are available weekly with monthly summaries and are based on mean daily temperatures recorded at about 200
major weather stations around the country. The temperature information recorded at these weather stations is used to
calculate statewide degree‐day averages weighted by gas home customers. The state figures are then aggregated into
Census Divisions and into the national average. Table 26 of this report presents the Heating Degree data, and is included
in the December through April NGM publications.
Note 11. Heat Content
The Form EIA‐857 collects volume and cost data on natural gas delivered to residential, commercial, and industrial
consumers, as shown in Tables 2 and 25 of the NGM. Data are reported by a sample of natural gas companies that deliver to
consumers in the United States. Respondents are instructed to calculate the average heat content (Btu) by summing the total
Btu delivered each month (volume delivered directly to consumers ) multiplied by average Btu content per unit volume and
then dividing by the total volume delivered directly to consumers during that month. The average Btu content for each month
should be that used for billing purposes whether billing was on a therm (100,000 Btu) or dekatherm (1,000,000 Btu) basis.
The value for heat content is expected to be in the range of 900 to 1200 Btu/cubic foot.

Data Sources
Note 1. Production
Monthly Data
The data in this publication are taken from survey reports collected by the Energy Information Administration
(EIA), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and the Office of Fossil Energy of the U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE). The EIA is the independent statistical and analytical agency within the DOE. The FERC is an
independent regulatory commission within the DOE that has jurisdiction primarily in the regulation of electric
utilities and the interstate natural gas industry. The Office of Fossil Energy has the authority under Section 3 of
the Natural Gas Act of 1938 to grant authorizations for the import and export of natural gas.
Data are collected from annual, quarterly, and monthly surveys. The primary annual report is the Form EIA‐176,
“Annual Report of Natural and Supplemental Gas Supply and Disposition,” a mandatory survey of all companies
that deliver natural gas to consumers or that transport gas across state lines. Another annual report, Form EIA‐
895, “Annual Quantity and Value of Natural Gas Production Report,” was completed by agencies in the 32 gas
producing states through 2010. EIA obtained similar data directly from the states beginning in 2011. The EIA‐
895 Form collected volumes of natural gas gross withdrawals, those vented and flared, returned to formation, or
used on the lease, and the volume of nonhydrocarbons removed from the produced stream. It also collected
information on the value of marketed production. The Office of Fossil Energy provides monthly and quarterly
files of data on imports and exports. The monthly reports include surveys of the natural gas industry, and of the
electric power industry. The monthly natural gas industry surveys are: the Form EIA‐191, filed by companies that
operate underground storage facilities in the Lower 48 states; the Form EIA‐914, filed by a sample of companies
that operate wells producing natural gas; the Form EIA‐857, filed by a sample of companies that deliver natural
gas to consumers; and the Form EIA‐910, filed by natural gas marketers in select states. The electric power
industry source for both price and consumption data is Form EIA‐923, "Power Plant Operations Report."
Responses to all current surveys are mandatory. A description of the survey respondents, reporting
requirements, and processing of the data is given on the following pages for each of the natural gas surveys.
Copies of the forms and instructions are available on the EIA website. Further information about Electric Power
forms can be found in Appendix C of the Electric Power Monthly.
Form EIA‐176, “Annual Report of Natural and Supplemental Gas Supply and
Disposition”
The Form EIA‐176 is mailed to all identified interstate and intrastate natural gas pipeline companies; investor
and municipally owned natural gas distributors; underground natural gas storage operators; synthetic natural
gas plant operators; field, well, or processing plant operators that deliver natural gas directly to consumers
(including their own industrial facilities); and/or companies that transport gas across a state border through field
or gathering facilities. Each company is required to file if it meets the survey specifications. The mailing in 2016
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly 105
December 2016
for report year 2015 totaled approximately 2,036 questionnaire packages. While final nonresponse rates vary,
the rates have averaged about 1 percent in recent years.
The Form EIA‐176 is a multi‐line, multi‐page schedule for reporting all supplies of natural gas and supplemental
gaseous fuels and their disposition within the state indicated. Respondents file completed forms with EIA in
Washington, DC. Data for the report year are due by March 1st. Extensions of the filing deadline for up to 30
days are granted to any respondent upon request.
All natural gas and supplemental gaseous fuels volumes are reported on a physical custody basis in thousand
cubic feet (Mcf), and dollar values are reported to the nearest whole dollar. All volumes are reported at 14.73
pounds per square inch absolute pressure (psia) and 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Data from Form EIA‐176 are also published in the Natural Gas Annual (NGA) and are available from the Form
EIA‐176 Query system posted on the EIA website. Data reported on this form are not considered proprietary.
Response to the form is mandatory.
Form EIA‐895, “Monthly and Annual Quantity and Value of Natural Gas Report”
Monthly production data were collected through Form EIA‐895, “Monthly and Annual Quantity and Value of
Natural Gas Report,” from January 1995 through December 2006. The form was designed to provide a standard
reporting system, to the extent possible, for the natural gas data reported by the states. Data were not
considered proprietary. All gas‐producing states and the Bureau of Safety & Environmental Enforcement (and
predecessor agencies) were requested to report on the Form EIA‐895, a voluntary report that was used through
2010.
In 1996, an annual schedule was added to the voluntary Form EIA‐895 to replace a prior annual production
form. This annual schedule, designated Form EIA‐895, continued to be used for collecting production data from
states through 2010. In 2011, annual gas production data were obtained directly from publicly available state
data.
The commercial recovery of methane from coalbeds and shale plays contributes a significant amount to the
production totals in a number of states. Gross production quantities of natural gas from coalbed methane seams
and shale plays (in thousand cubic feet) are obtained from PointLogic Energy. Previously, data from LCI Energy
Insight (LCI) were used. In 2007‐2009, an average daily production rate, available for each year, from coalbed
methane and shale were used to allocate production data across months depending on the number of days in
each month. For 2010 forward, monthly coalbed and shale data from LCI and, later, PointLogic Energy, were
developed with the following method:
[Quarterly Daily Shale Production Rate (MMcf/day) x Number of Days in Quarter x 1000] x [Month Gross
Production Volume / Quarter Gross Production Volume]
Beginning in 2010, for Pennsylvania, the quarterly shale data were also used to create a gross production
monthly pattern. Data for coalbed and shale gas wells are not shown in the Natural Gas Monthly; however,
coalbed and shale breakouts are available via the Natural Gas Navigator.

December 2016
The EIA‐895 also collected data on volumes returned to formation for repressuring, pressure maintenance, and
cycling; quantities vented and flared; quantities of nonhydrocarbon gases removed; quantities of fuel used on
lease; and marketed production as well as the monthly volume and value of marketed production. From 2011
forward, these data were obtained directly from the states or, where it was not available, estimated by EIA. The
annual schedule of the EIA‐895 also collected data on the number of producing gas wells, the production of
natural gas including gross withdrawals from both gas and oil wells; volumes returned to formation for
repressuring, pressure maintenance, and cycling; quantities vented and flared; quantities of nonhydrocarbon
gases removed; quantities of fuel used on lease; marketed production; the value of marketed production; and
quantity of marketed production (value based). From 2011 forward, the same items were obtained directly
from the states or estimated by EIA where it was not available. From 2011 forward, the number of producing
wells is from World Oil Magazine. All volumes are in thousand cubic feet at the states’ standard pressure base
and at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. All dollar values are reported in thousands.
Form EIA‐914, "Monthly Natural Gas Production Report"
The Form EIA‐914 is a sample survey of well operators in the Lower 48 states and 16 states or regions (Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania,
Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wyoming, and the Federal Offshore Gulf of Mexico). Current estimates of monthly
production are based on this survey. The survey collects natural gas production volume information on a
monthly basis, aggregated to the areas specifically requested. Two volumes are requested from respondents for
each area in which they operate wells: (1) “gross withdrawals (wet),” which is the full‐bore well stream gas
minus lease condensate, oil, and water; and (2) “natural gas lease production,” which is a measure indicating the
net amount of produced gas leaving the lease to go to natural gas processing plants or directly to end‐users.
Estimates of gross withdrawals in a state are made from the reported gross withdrawal volumes. Marketed
production is estimated from gross withdrawals using state estimates of repressuring, vented and flared, and
nonhydrocarbon gases removed.
The EIA‐914 survey form is an 11‐page document, similar in format to other surveys in EIA’s Office of Oil, Gas,
and Coal Supply Statistics. The form was designed based on direct input from potential respondents during pre‐
survey design visits and the quality and usability of the survey instrument were established with cognitive
testing conducted by survey methodologists in EIA’s Statistics and Methods Group. Based on the test results, the
form includes imbedded instructions, intended to help respondents complete the form without the need to
refer to instructions located elsewhere.
A full description of the survey methodology may be found at the EIA‐914 Methodology.
Form EIA‐191, “Underground Natural Gas Storage Report”
The Form EIA‐191, “Monthly Underground Natural Gas Storage Report,” is completed by approximately 131
companies that operate underground facilities in the United States (prior to 2013, Alaska data were not included
in the EIA‐191 survey). The final monthly and annual response rates are 100 percent. The Form EIA‐191
monthly schedule contains current month data on the total quantities of gas in storage, injections and
withdrawals, the location (including state and county, field, reservoir) and peak day withdrawals during the
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly 107
December 2016
reporting period. The annual schedule contains type of facility, storage field capacity, maximum deliverability
and pipelines to which each field is connected. The annual schedule for the prior year is filed with the December
submission.
Collection of the survey is on a custody basis. Information requested must be provided within 20 days after the
last day of each month. Twelve reports are required per calendar year. Respondents are required to indicate
whether the data reported are actual or estimated. For most of the estimated filings, the actual data or
necessary revisions are submitted on separate forms for each month. Actual data on natural gas injections and
withdrawals from underground storage are based on metered quantities. Data on quantities of gas in storage
and on storage capacity represent, in part, reservoir engineering evaluations. All volumes are reported at 14.73
psia and 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Monthly Energy Review contains data from the Form EIA‐191 survey.
“Quarterly Natural Gas Import and Export Sales and Price Report”
Beginning in 1995, import and export data have been taken from the “Quarterly Natural Gas Import and Export
Sales and Price Report.” This report is prepared by the Office of Fossil Energy, U.S. Department of Energy, based
on information submitted by all firms having authorization to import or export natural gas. The Office of Fossil
Energy provides authorizations for imports or exports under Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act of 1938.
All companies are required, as a condition of their authorizations, to file monthly and quarterly reports with the
Office of Fossil Energy. The data are reported at a monthly level of detail.
Form EIA‐857, “Monthly Report of Natural Gas Purchases and Deliveries to
Consumers”
Monthly price and volume data on gas deliveries are collected on the Form EIA‐857 from a sample of
respondents representing the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Response to Form EIA‐857 is mandatory
and data are considered proprietary. Completed forms are required to be submitted to EIA on or before the
30th day after the end of the report month.
A sample of approximately 310 natural gas companies, including interstate pipelines, intrastate pipelines, and
local distribution companies, report to the survey. The sample was selected independently for each of the 50
states and the District of Columbia from a frame consisting of all respondents to Form EIA‐176 who reported
deliveries of natural gas to consumers in the residential, commercial, or industrial sectors. Each selected
company is required to complete and file the Form EIA‐857 monthly. Each month about half the responses are
received by the due date although response rates by first publication of the relevant month are approximately
95 percent. When a response is extremely late, volumes are imputed, as described in Appendix C, “Statistical
Considerations.” When the company’s submission is eventually received, the submitted data are entered into
the data system and used for subsequent processing and revisions.
Form EIA‐857 data are used to estimate monthly sales of natural gas (volume and price) by state and monthly
deliveries of natural gas on behalf of others (volume) by state to three consumer sectors ‐‐residential,
108 U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly
December 2016
commercial, and industrial. Data from Form EIA‐857 are also used to calculate the citygate price. See Appendix
C for a discussion of the sample design and estimation procedures. Monthly prices of natural gas to the electric
power sector are calculated from data reported on Form EIA‐923, "Electric Power Plant Operations." Data from
Form EIA‐857 are also used to calculate the citygate price.
Form EIA‐910, “Monthly Natural Gas Marketer Survey”
The Form EIA‐910, “Monthly Natural Gas Marketer Survey,” collects information on natural gas sales from
marketers in selected states (Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, and the District of Columbia) that have active customer choice
programs. Beginning in 2011, the EIA‐910 is collected only in Georgia, New York and Ohio. These states were
selected based on the percentage of natural gas sold by marketers in the residential and commercial end‐use
sectors. The survey collects monthly price and volume data on natural gas sold by all marketers in the selected
states. A natural gas marketer is a company that competes with other companies to sell natural gas service, but
relies on regulated local distribution companies to deliver the gas. The data collected on the Form EIA‐910 are
integrated with residential and commercial price data from the Form EIA‐857 for the states where the EIA‐910
data are collected as data quality becomes acceptable. Response to the EIA‐910 is mandatory and data are
considered proprietary.
Approximately 100 natural gas marketers currently report to the survey. Final monthly survey response rates
are approximately 95 percent. Responses are filed with EIA in Washington, DC, on or before the 30th day after
the end of the report month.
All natural gas volumes are reported in thousand cubic feet at 14.73 psia at 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and dollar
values are reported as whole dollar.

Appendix C
Statistical Considerations
The monthly volumes and prices of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial consumers presented in
this report by State are estimated from data reported on the Form EIA‐857, “Monthly Report of Natural Gas
Purchases and Deliveries to Consumers.”
Monthly prices in select States are supplemented with data from the Form EIA‐910, “Monthly Natural Gas Marketer
Survey.” (See Appendix B, “Data Sources,” for a description of these Forms.)
A description of the sample design and the estimation procedures is given below.
Sample Design
The Form EIA‐857 implements a monthly sample survey of companies delivering natural gas to consumers. It
includes inter‐ and intrastate pipeline companies and local distribution companies.
The survey provides data that are used each month to estimate the volume of natural gas delivered and the price
for onsystem sales of natural gas by State to three consumer sectors—residential, commercial, and industrial.
Monthly deliveries and prices of natural gas to the electric power sector are reported on the Form EIA‐923, “Power
Plant Operations Report.”
Sample Universe. The sample in use for 2016 was selected from a universe of 1,668 companies. These companies
were respondents to the Form EIA‐176, “Annual Report of Natural and Supplemental Gas Supply and Disposition,”
for reporting year 2014, who reported sales or deliveries to consumers in the residential, commercial, or industrial
sectors. (See Appendix B for a description of the Form EIA‐176.)
Sampling Plan. Beginning in 2012, EIA changed its sample design from single stage probability‐proportional‐to‐
size (“PPS”) to a cut off sample in order to reduce respondent burden and decrease processing costs. The
skewness of the volume of reported natural gas within the primary traditional sectors of interest for the EIA‐857,
residential, commercial, and industrial, is sufficiently large to enable a cut‐off design that will maintain estimates
of similar quality as under the previous PPS sample design.
One of the purposes of the sample is to provide a ratio useful for scaling the monthly state sector volumes in the
sample up to precise estimates of the actual state sector monthly volumes. In cases where at most two suppliers
in a State service a particular sector, all suppliers are included in the cut off sample. In States with more than two
suppliers in a sector, the cut off sample is constructed by adding suppliers in descending order of volume until the
change in the ratio of interest is considered statistically insignificant.
The single stage PPS sample design typically yielded approximately 390 respondents for the EIA‐857 during 2009‐
2011. The cutoff sample approach as described above reduces this figure to approximately 310 respondents.
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly 111

Estimation Procedures
Estimates of Volumes. Total gas sales and deliveries is estimated as the sum of estimated volume of natural gas
sales by EIA‐857 sample companies and estimated volume of natural gas transported on behalf of others by EIA‐
d
857 sample companies. To estimate each component volume for a State, a ratio estimator is calculated separately
for the volume of natural gas sales byEIA‐857 sample companies and the volume of natural gas transported on
behalf of others by EIA‐857 sample companies. These ratios are then applied to the reported sales volumes and
transportation volumes respectively. This is done in each State by sector for the sampled companies.
Ratio estimators are typically calculated for each consumer sector — residential, commercial, and industrial — in
each State where companies are sampled using annual data from the most recent submission of Form EIA‐176.
The classical ratio estimator (CRE) for the volume of gas in a State for consumer sector j is:
V j is y ij

where for either the natural gas sales by EIA‐857 sample companies or the natural gas transported on behalf of
others by EIA‐857 sample companies:
Vj = the estimate of monthly gas volumes in a State for consumer sector j,
yij = the monthly volume within a State for sector j and company i,
xij = the annual volume within a State for sector j and company i,
∑∈
Ideally, the ratio ∑∈ is calculated separately for each State by sector cross classification. However,
because certain States have extremely small sample sizes, we combine some States for estimation purposes
only, in order to obtain more stable estimates. The state groupings are referred to as estimation groups. For
most states, especially the large ones, the ratio will continue to be estimated separately as described above. The
final volume estimates, Vj, will continue to be published separately for all States.
When an estimation group involves more than one state, such states are geographical neighbors, and the states
in each group fall within a temperature and precipitation region, as defined by the National Climatic Data Center
(NCDC).
Grouping states this way is an application of small area estimation, where more reliable estimates are obtained
by “borrowing strength” from neighboring states with similar climate patterns. For more details see
[Link]
For most respondents, the estimation of residential and commercial consumption requires one additional step
than the industrial sector. In this extra step the company level reported volumes are adjusted using sendout.
112 U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly
December 2016
Sendout, which was added to Form EIA‐857 for the August 2010 report month, is the total volume of gas
dispatched for delivery during a calendar month. It should be noted that the adjusted volumes for the residential
and commercial sector are used in equation 2.
The adjustment is implemented by taking reported sendout and removing gas that is consumed in company
operations and distribution use as well as gas delivered to electric power, industrial, and vehicle use sectors. The
remaining gas is allocated to the residential and commercial sectors proportionally based on reported totals for
the report month. For a small number of companies, the adjustment to sendout is applied to all sectors in order
to better represent their billing practices. In these cases, sendout is applied to all end‐use sectors proportionally
instead of just to residential and commercial.
The formulas for adjusting the reported residential and commercial volumes at the company level are:
R
Radj ( SO * (1 Oth ) EP IN ) * (2)
RC
C
Cadj ( SO * (1 Oth ) EP IN ) * (3)
RC
where:
Radj = sendout adjusted residential volume,
Cadj = sendout adjusted commercial volume,
SO = sendout volume,
Oth = ratio of annual distribution use and vehicle fuel to total deliveries,
EP = reported electric power volume,
IN = reported industrial volume,
R = reported residential volume,
C = reported commercial volume.
Estimates of Revenue. Revenue is calculated similarly to volumes. Sales revenue is estimated as the sum of
estimated revenue from natural gas sales by EIA‐857 sample companies for each sector by State and applying
the ratio estimator in equation 1. Similar to volumes, States are combined if the sample size (by sector) is too
small in order to estimate the ratio.
Computation of Natural Gas Prices. The natural gas volumes that are included in the computation of prices
represent only those volumes associated with natural gas sales by natural gas companies except as explained
below.
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly 113
December 2016
The price of natural gas within a State for sector j is calculated as follows:
Rj
Pj (4)
Vj
where:
Pj = the average price for gas sales within a State for consumer sector j,
Rj = the reported revenue from natural gas sales within a State for consumer sector j,
Vj = the reported volume of natural gas sales within a State for consumer sector j.
All average prices are weighted by their corresponding sales volume estimates when national average prices are
computed.
For select States (Georgia, New York and Ohio), the monthly average prices of natural gas to residential and
commercial consumers are based on total sales (sales by local distribution companies and natural gas marketers).
See the Form EIA‐910 description in Appendix B, “Data Sources,” for details.
Volumes of gas delivered for the account of others to these consumer sectors are not included in the State or
national average prices except in these States.
The price of natural gas in the residential and commercial sectors where EIA‐910 data are used is calculated as
follows:
Rm s
R s * V t
R Vs Rm s Vt Vm s
Pc s * * (5a)
V s V s Vt Vm s V s Vt V s Vt

Pc = the combined average price for gas sales by local distribution companies and marketers within the State in
sector s (residential or commercial),
Rs = the estimated revenue from natural gas sales by local distribution companies within the State in sector s
(residential or commercial),
114 U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly
December 2016
Vs = the estimated volume of natural gas sales by local distribution companies within the State in sector s
(residential or commercial),
Vt = the estimated volume of natural gas transported by local distribution companies for marketers within the
State in sector s (residential or commercial),
Rms = the reported revenue from natural gas sales by marketers within the State in sector s (residential or
commercial),
Vms = the reported volume of natural gas sales by a marketer within the State in sector s (residential or
commercial),
Rt = the estimated revenue from natural gas transported by local distribution companies for marketers within the
State in sector s (residential or commercial).
Table 24 shows the percent of the total State volume that represents volumes from natural gas sales to the
residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. This table may be helpful in evaluating residential, commercial,
and industrial price data.
Estimation for Nonrespondents and Edit Failures.
A volume for each delivered and transported consumer category is imputed for companies that fail to respond in
time for inclusion in the published estimates (unit nonresponse) or for which reported volumes have failed the
edit and not been confirmed or corrected (item nonresponse).
In the case of unit nonresponse and edit failures, the imputed volumes and revenues for the residential,
commercial, and industrial sectors are predicted using CRE. In other words, they are predicted the same way as
out of sample cases. In particular, for company i, which can be a nonrespondent, edit failure or not sampled, the
predicted value is given as:
y
is , j
ij
y

x * ij
xij

where:
∗
= the estimated value (volume or revenue) of the nonrespondent company or for a company value that fails
an edit,
∗
= the reported value (volume or revenue) of the nonrespondent company from the latest Form EIA 176 survey.
∑∈
Again the ratio ∑∈ is calculated separately for most states, but several states can be combined as
described in the “Estimates of Volume” section above when sample size is too small for a State by sector
classification.

Final Revisions
Adjusting Monthly Data to Annual Data. After the annual data reported on the Form EIA‐176 have been
submitted, edited, and prepared for publication in the Natural Gas Annual (NGA), revisions are made to monthly
d
data.
The revisions are made to the volumes and prices of natural gas delivered to consumers that have appeared in
the Natural Gas Monthly (NGM) to match them to the annual values appearing in the Natural Gas Annual.
The revised monthly estimates allocate the difference between the sum of monthly estimates and the annual
reports, according to the distribution of the estimated values across the months.
Before the final revisions are made, changes or additions to submitted data received after publication of the
monthly estimate and not sufficiently large to require a revision to be published in the NGM, are used to derive
an updated estimate of monthly consumption and revenues for each State’s residential, commercial, or industrial
natural gas consumption.
For each State, two numbers are revised, the estimated consumption and the estimated price per thousand cubic
feet.
The formula for revising the estimated consumption is:
V

V jm V jm ja' (6)
V
jm
where:
V* jm = the final volume estimate for month m in consumer sector j,
V jm = the estimated volume for month m in consumer sector j,
V ja = the volume for the year reported on Form EIA‐176,
V’jm = the annual sum of estimated monthly volumes.
The price is calculated as described above in the Estimation Procedures section, using the final revised
consumption estimate and a revised revenue estimate.
The formula for revising the estimated revenue is:
R ja
R *jm R jm ' (7)
R
jm
where:
R*jm = the final revenue estimate for month m in consumer sector j,
116 U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly
December 2016
Rjm = the estimated revenue for month m in consumer sector j,
Rja = the revenue for the year reported on Form EIA‐176,
R’jm = the annual sum of estimated monthly revenues.
Revision of Volumes and Prices for Deliveries to Electric Power Sector. Revisions to monthly deliveries to the
electric power sector are published throughout the year as they become available.
Reliability of Monthly Data
The monthly data published in this report are subject to two sources of error –‐ nonsampling error and sampling
error. Nonsampling errors occur in the collection and processing of the data.
See the discussion of the Form EIA‐857 in Appendix B for a description of nonsampling errors for monthly data.
Sampling error may be defined as the difference between the results obtained from a sample and the results that
a complete enumeration would provide. The standard error statistic is a measurement of sampling error.
Standard Errors. A standard error of an estimate is a statistical measure that indicates how the estimate from the
sample compares to the result from a complete enumeration.
The standard errors for monthly natural gas volume and price estimates by State are given in Table C1. They are
constructed so that over the long run the true value is within two standard errors of its estimate 95% of the time.
For volume estimates, the relative standard error (RSE) is published as a percent. Standard errors of prices are
expressed in dollars.
The relative standard error of a natural gas volume estimate is the square root of the variance of the estimate
divided by the published volume. The formula for calculating the variance of the volume estimate is:
. ∑ ∑ ∑ (8)
where:
V.j = the estimate of monthly gas volumes in a State for sector j,

xij = the reported annual volume for company i in sector j,
yij = the reported monthly volume for company i in sector j,
n = sample size ( i > n implies company i not in sample),
N = frame size.
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly 117
December 2016
As the price of natural gas is calculated as a quotient of revenue to volume, the standard error of natural gas
prices is derived using the variance properties of a quotient. The variance of revenue is calculated in the
same manner as the volumes described in equation 8, with revenue substituted for volume. The formula for
calculating the standard error of the price in equation 4 is:
,
∗ 2 (9)

where:
Pj = natural gas price in sector j,
Vj = volume in sector j, which is estimated in equation 1,
Rj = revenue in sector j, which is estimated in same manner as equation 1,
Var(Vj) = the variance of volume in sector j calculated using equation 8,
Var(Rj) = the variance of revenue in sector j calculated in the same manner as equation 8,
Cov(Vj,Rj) = the covariance between revenue and volume in sector j. The formula for estimating the covariance is:

Glossary
Aquifer Storage Field: A sub‐surface facility for storing natural gas, consisting of water‐bearing sands topped by
an impermeable cap rock.
Balancing Item: Represents the difference between the sum of the components of natural gas supply and the
sum of the components of natural gas disposition. These differences may be due to data reporting or survey
coverage problems. Reporting problems include differences due to the net result of conversions of flow data
metered at varying temperature and pressure bases and converted to a standard temperature and pressure base;
the effect of variations in company accounting and billing practices; differences between billing cycle and calendar
period time frames; and imbalances resulting from the merger of data reporting systems which vary in scope,
format, definitions, and type of respondents.
Base (Cushion) Gas: The volume of gas needed as a permanent inventory to maintain adequate reservoir
pressures and deliverability rates throughout the withdrawal season. All native gas is included in the base gas
volume.
British Thermal Unit (Btu): The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of liquid water by
1 degree Fahrenheit at the temperature at which water has its greatest density (approximately 39 degrees
Fahrenheit).
Btu Per Cubic Foot: The total heating value, expressed in Btu, produced by the combustion, at constant pressure,
of the amount of the gas that would occupy a volume of 1 cubic foot at a temperature of 60 degrees F if saturated
with water vapor and under a pressure equivalent to that of 30 inches of mercury at 32 degrees F and under
standard gravitational force (980.665 cm. per sec. squared) with air of the same temperature and pressure as the
gas, when the products of combustion are cooled to the initial temperature of gas and air when the water formed
by combustion is condensed to the liquid state.(Sometimes called gross heating value or total heating value.)
Citygate: A point or measuring station at which a gas distribution company receives gas from a pipeline company
or transmission system.
Commercial Consumption: Gas used by nonmanufacturing establishments or agencies primarily engaged in the
sale of goods or services such as hotels, restaurants, wholesale and retail stores and other service enterprises;
and gas used by local, state and federal agencies engaged in nonmanufacturing activities.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG): Natural gas which is comprised primarily of methane, compressed to a pressure
at or above 2,400 pounds per square inch and stored in special high‐pressure containers. It is used as a fuel for
natural gas powered vehicles.
Depleted Storage Field: A sub‐surface natural geological reservoir, usually a depleted oil or gas field, used for
storing natural gas.
Dry Natural Gas Production: The process of producing consumer‐grade natural gas. Natural gas withdrawn from
reservoirs is reduced by volumes used at the production (lease) site and by processing losses. Volumes used at
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly 121
December 2016
the production site include (1) the volume returned to reservoirs in cycling, repressuring of oil reservoirs, and
conservation operations; and (2) gas vented and flared. Processing losses include (1) nonhydrocarbon gases (e.g.,
water vapor, carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen sulfide, and nitrogen) removed from the gas stream; and (2) gas
converted to liquid form, such as lease condensate and plant liquids. Volumes of dry gas withdrawn from gas
storage reservoirs are not considered part of production. Dry natural gas production equals marketed production
less natural gas plant liquid production.
Electric Power Consumption: Gas used as fuel in the electric power sector.
Electric Power Sector: An energy‐consuming sector that consists of electricity‐only and combined heat and power
(CHP) plants whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public – i.e., North American
Industry Classification System 22 plants.
Exports: Natural gas deliveries out of the continental United States (including Alaska) to foreign countries.
Gas Well: A well completed for production of natural gas from one or more gas zones or reservoirs. Such wells
contain no completions for the production of crude oil.
Gross Withdrawals: Full well stream volume, including all natural gas plant liquid and nonhydrocarbon gases, but
excluding lease condensate. Also includes amounts delivered as royalty payments or consumed in field
operations.
Heating Value: The average number of British thermal units per cubic foot of natural gas as determined from tests
of fuel samples.
Imports: Natural gas received in the Continental United States (including Alaska) from a foreign country.
Industrial Consumption: Natural gas used for heat, power, or chemical feedstock by manufacturing
establishments or those engaged in mining or other mineral extraction as well as consumers in agriculture,
forestry, and fisheries. Also included in industrial consumption are generators that produce electricity and/or
useful thermal output primarily to support the above‐mentioned industrial activities.
Intransit Deliveries: Redeliveries to a foreign country of foreign gas received for transportation across U.S.
territory and deliveries of U.S. gas to a foreign country for transportation across its territory and redelivery to the
United States.
Intransit Receipts: Receipts of foreign gas for transportation across U.S. territory and redelivery to a foreign
country and redeliveries to the United States of U.S. gas transported across foreign territory.
Lease and Plant Fuel: Natural gas used in well, field, lease operations (such as gas used in drilling operations,
heaters, dehydrators, and field compressors) and as fuel in natural gas processing plants.
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG): Natural gas (primarily methane) that has been liquefied by reducing its temperature
to ‐260 degrees Fahrenheit at atmospheric pressure.
Local Distribution Company (LDC): A legal entity engaged primarily in the retail sale and/or delivery of natural gas
through a distribution system that includes mainlines (that is, pipelines designed to carry large volumes of gas,
122 U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly
December 2016
usually located under roads or other major right‐of‐ways) and laterals (that is, pipelines of smaller diameter that
connect the end user to the mainline). Since the restructuring of the gas industry, the sale of gas and/or delivery
arrangements may be handled by other agents, such as producers, brokers, and marketers that are referred to as
"non‐LDC."
Marketed Production: Gross withdrawals less gas used for repressuring, quantities vented and flared, and
nonhydrocarbon gases removed in treating or processing operations. Includes all quantities of gas used in field
and processing operations.
Native Gas: Gas in place at the time that a reservoir was converted to use as an underground storage reservoir,
as in contrast to injected gas volumes.
Natural Gas: A gaseous mixture of hydrocarbon compounds, the primary one being methane. Note: The Energy
Information Administration measures wet natural gas and its two sources of production, associated/dissolved
natural gas and nonassociated natural gas, and dry natural gas, which is produced from wet natural gas.
Natural Gas Liquids (NGL): A group of hydrocarbons including ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane, and
natural gasoline. Generally include natural gas plant liquids and all liquefied refinery gases, except olefins.
Natural Gas Marketer: A company that arranges purchases and sales of natural gas. Unlike pipeline companies or
local distribution companies, a marketer does not own physical assets commonly used in the supply of natural gas,
such as pipelines or storage fields. A marketer may be an affiliate of another company, such as a local distribution
company, natural gas pipeline, or producer, but it operates independently of other segments of the company. In
states with residential choice programs, marketers serve as alternative suppliers to residential users of natural gas,
which is delivered by a local distribution company.
Natural Gas Plant Liquids (NGPL): Those hydrocarbons in natural gas that are separated as liquids at natural gas
processing, fractionating, and cycling plants. Products obtained include ethane, liquefied petroleum gases
(propane and butanes), and natural gasoline. Component products may be fractionated or mixed. Lease
condensate and plant condensate are excluded.
Natural Gas Plant Liquids (NGPL) Production: The extraction of gas plant liquids constituents such as ethane,
propane, normal butane, isobutane, and natural gasoline, sometimes referred to as extraction loss. Usually reported
in barrels or gallons, but may be reported in cubic feet for purposes of comparison with dry natural gas volumes.
Nominal Dollars: A measure used to express nominal price.
Nominal Price: The price paid for a product or service at the time of the transaction. Nominal prices are those that
have not been adjusted to remove the effect of changes in the purchasing power of the dollar; they reflect buying
power in the year in which the transaction occurred.
Onsystem Sales: Sales to customers where the delivery point is a point on, or directly interconnected with, a
transportation, storage, and/or distribution system operated by the reporting company.
Pipeline Fuel: Gas consumed in the operation of pipelines, primarily in compressors.
Repressuring: The injection of gas into oil or gas formations to effect greater ultimate recovery.
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Natural Gas Monthly 123

Residential Consumption: Gas used in private dwellings, including apartments, for heating, cooking, water
heating, and other household uses.
Salt Cavern Storage Field: A storage facility that is a cavern hollowed out in either a “salt bed” or “dome”
formation.
Storage Additions: Volumes of gas injected or otherwise added to underground natural gas reservoirs or liquefied
natural gas storage.
Storage Withdrawals: Total volume of gas withdrawn from underground storage or from liquefied natural gas
storage over a specified amount of time.
Supplemental Gaseous Fuels Supplies: Synthetic natural gas, propane‐air, coke oven gas, refinery gas, biomass
gas, air injected for Btu stabilization, and manufactured gas commingled and distributed with natural gas.
Underground Gas Storage Reservoir Capacity: Interstate company reservoir capacities are those certificated by
FERC. Independent producer and intrastate company reservoir capacities are reported as developed capacity.
Vehicle Fuel Consumption: Natural gas (compressed or liquefied) used as vehicle fuel.
Working (Top Storage) Gas: The volume of gas in an underground storage reservoir above the designed level
of the base. It may or may not be completely withdrawn during any particular withdrawal season. Conditions
permitting, the total working capacity could be used more than once during any season.
