- Company Profile:
The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
A system of transmission or distribution lines so cross-connected and operated as to permit multiple supply to any principal point on it.
Industry:Energy
Any natural gas company with combined sales for resale and gas transported or stored for a fee exceeding 50 million Mcf at standard conditions in each of the three previous calendar years.
Industry:Energy
In DSM, an efficiency measure that is cost-effective but does not get installed, and which is unlikely to be cost-effective at a later time.
Industry:Energy
Saltwater found in underground formations in which the pressure is much higher than commonly exists at such depths (primarily in the Gulf Coast states and under the Gulf of Mexico). Gas is soluble in water, just as it is in crude oil, but in much lower amounts. Solubility increases with pressure. Geopressured brines (with formation pressures of 10,000 psi or higher) contain sufficient gas in solution that were the pressure reduced (by producing the saltwater) significant quantities of gas could be produced. The total amount of gas held in geopressured brines is quite large and represents a potential energy resource for the U.S. However, the production of such gas is currently not economic.
Industry:Energy
Steam at a temperature and pressure such that any lowering of the temperature or increase in pressure will cause condensation.
Industry:Energy
The ideal gas law is the combination of the volume, temperature, and pressure relationships of Boyle's and Charles' laws resulting in the relationship PV=RT. Real gases deviate by varying amounts from the ideal gas law. See SUPERCOMPRESSIBILITY FACTOR and LAWS.
Industry:Energy
The temperature above which a fluid cannot exist as a liquid and hence cannot be liquefied by pressure alone.
Industry:Energy
A device designed to reduce and limit the gas pressure at the customer's meter.
Industry:Energy
A method of checking a bell prover by determining the relation between displaced volume and linear movement of a bell prover by means of measuring scale length, bell circumference, and displacement of the sealing liquid.
Industry:Energy
A system that provides either collectively or individually the processes of comfort heating, ventilation and/or cooling within or associated with a building.
