 1/ Marketed production (wet) minus extraction losses.

 2/ 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.

 3/ Includes any natural gas regasified in the Bahamas and transported via pipeline to Florida, as well as gas from Canada and Mexico.

 4/ Includes energy for combined heat and power plants, except those whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public.

 5/ Includes any natural gas used in the process of converting natural gas to liquid fuel that is not actually converted.

 6/ Includes any natural gas converted into liquid fuel.

 7/ Includes consumption of energy by electricity-only and combined heat and power plants whose primary business is to sell

electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public. Includes small power producers and exempt wholesale generators.

 8/ Compressed natural gas used as vehicle fuel.

 9/ Represents natural gas used in well, field, and lease operations, and in natural gas processing plant machinery.

 10/ Balancing item. Natural gas lost as a result of converting flow data measured at varying temperatures and

pressures to a standard temperature and pressure and the merger of different data reporting systems which

vary in scope, format, definition, and respondent type. In addition, 2007 and 2008 values include net storage injections.

 11/ Represents lower 48 onshore and offshore supplies.

 12/ Compressed natural gas used as a vehicle fuel. Price includes estimated motor vehicle fuel taxes and estimated dispensing costs or charges.

 13/ Weighted average prices. Weights used are the sectoral consumption values excluding lease, plant, and pipeline fuel.
