Synthetic Natural Methane obtained from sources other than naturally occurring reservoirs of natural gas, such as by heating coal, refining heavier hydrocarbons, or processing garbage or other organic materials. Gases other than natural gas or liquid or solid hydrocarbons converted to a gaseous fuel of heat content, compatibility and quality equivalent in performance to that of natural gas. Tight Sands Natural gas contained in rock with low permeability, requiring enhanced and expensive production techniques. Under the NGPA, natural gas from designated tight sands formations qualified for incentive sales prices. For The difference between the amount of natural gas delivered to a pipeline for transportation and that redelivered by the pipeline, taking into account fuel, plant shrinkage, and imbalances.
Pipelines typically levy a charge of a portion of each shipper s natural gas to cover losses.
Unconventional Natural gas which must be produced by means other than current technologies. Natural gas used as fuel to power passenger and freight vehicles. Wet Unprocessed natural gas or partially processed natural gas, produced from strata containing condensable hydrocarbons and liquid hydrocarbons in solution. A charge paid by a buyer to its supplier for holding natural gas supplies ready to be delivered to the buyer. Gas-Reserves Natural gas in natural underground formation in wells, fields or pools.
