The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
A spark ignition device designed to electrically initiate the combustion process.
Industry:Energy
An instrument used to analyze the make-up of various substances, and often used to determine the Btu content of natural gas. CI=Certificate (Independent Producer), CP=Certificate (Pipeline), CS=Certificate (Small Producer), FA=Financial Audits, GP=General Proceeding, GT=General Tariff Change, IN=Investigation, PL=General Policy, RI=Rates (Independent Producer), RM=Rulemaking, RP=Rates (Pipeline), SA=Staff Adjustments (NGPA), ST=Sales under 311(b), transportation under 311(a), assignments under 312 of NGPA, TA=Annual tracking filing, TC=Curtailment Tariff, TF=Tariff Filing, TM=Monthly tracking filing, TQ=Quarterly tracking filing
Industry:Energy
Rather than receiving a specified price for raw gas delivered to a gas processing plant, a producer may instead receive a specified price for residue gas and a percentage of the plant proceeds from the sale of the extracted natural gas liquids.
Industry:Energy
An instrument used to determine the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given substance (as water or hydrogen) taken as a standard, when both densities are obtained by weighing in air.
Industry:Energy
Generally, the act of searching for potential subsurface reservoirs of gas or oil. Methods include the use of magnetometers, gravity meters, seismic exploration, surface mapping, exploratory drillings, and other such methods.
Industry:Energy
A connection in which two pieces of pipe are held together by mechanical means, bolts, or similar fasteners.
Industry:Energy
A measure of the capacity of a well to produce oil or gas. When a well is completed, its productive capacity is determined by an official test. The capacity as shown by this test is known as the well's potential. The allowable rate of production assigned to the well is based in whole or in part on its potential.
Industry:Energy
The science and study of the relationships between heat and mechanical work. First Law: Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, but has a mass equivalent. Second Law: Heat cannot pass from a colder to a warmer body without the expenditure of energy; all systems tend to equilibrium. Third Law: At absolute zero, the entropy of a pure substance can be taken to be zero.
