The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
A precise listing of the quantities of gas to be transported during any specified time period. A nomination includes all custody transfer entities, locations, compressor fueled and other volumetric assessments, and the precise routing of gas through the pipeline network.
Industry:Energy
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.
Industry:Energy
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).

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
Draft that is caused by a thermal upset in which temperature differences change the weight (pressure) of air.
Industry:Energy
The portions of a building which do not have significant amounts of exterior surfaces. Such zones have heating or cooling needs largely dependent upon internal factors such as lighting. Compare EXTERIOR ZONES.
Industry:Energy
Natural gas that can not be economically produced using current technology.
Industry:Energy
The portions of a building, with significant amounts of exterior walls, windows, roofs, or exposed floors. Such zones have heating or cooling needs largely dependent upon weather conditions. Compare INTERIOR ZONES.
