The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
Displacement transactions permit the lateral movement of gas through a transportation network. The configuration of many pipelines is such that it may not be apparent whether a given movement of gas is forward or backward from the point of receipt. It can be argued that all transportation service is performed by displacement as the physical delivery of the same molecules of gas is impossible. See BACKHAUL.

Natural gas storage facilities owned and controlled by a storage operator, quite often the interstate pipeline's affiliate. Capacity within these facilities is leased by customers, such as LDCs, who use the stored gas during cold weather. Leased storage gas is returned to the customer either in the market area (close to the recipient) or supply area (close to production).
Industry:Energy

To ascertain, usually by comparison with a standard, the locations at which scale or chart graduations should be placed to correspond to a series of values of the quantity which the instrument is to measure, receive or transmit. Also, to adjust the output of a device, to bring it to a desired value, within a specified tolerance for a particular value of the input. Also, to ascertain the error in the output of a device by checking it against a standard.

Industry:Energy
A predefined monthly period in which daily services are summarized for invoicing and imbalance statements. Typically billing months are not calendar months, except for large volume and special use customers. See CYCLE BILLING.
Industry:Energy
AFUE measures average annual seasonal efficiency of a gas furnace or boiler and may be expressed as total heating output divided by total energy (fuel) input. AFUE's for furnaces can range from 55% to 97%.
Industry:Energy
Draft that is caused by a thermal upset in which temperature differences change the weight (pressure) of air.
