The American Gas Association represents local energy companies that deliver natural gas throughout the United States.
A gas cap to an oil reservoir, not present at the time of discovery of the reservoir, that results from the release of gas from solution within the reservoir oil as the reservoir pressure declines, and its subsequent migration to the top of the reservoir due to the force of gravity,
Industry:Energy
A porous, solid residue resulting from the incomplete combustion of coal heated in a closed chamber, or oven, with a limited supply of air. Coke is largely carbon and is a desirable fuel in certain metallurgical industries.
Industry:Energy
Acreage dedicated to a company by contract. More specifically, all gas produced from the dedicated acreage is dedicated to the purchasing company by contract.
Industry:Energy
Devices used with a meter to provide an adjustment of the meter reading to permit obtaining special information, or to transmit information to a remote location.
Industry:Energy
Natural gas originally in solution within the reservoir crude oil. As the reservoir pressure is reduced due to production, gas is released from solution in the oil, allowing it to migrate as free gas to a wellbore and be produced or to the crest of the reservoir where it can collect and form a secondary gas cap. In addition, gas is released from solution in the oil within the wellbore as the oil is produced. Thus, most oil wells, except stripper wells producing from reservoirs where the pressure and solution gas has been depleted, produce gas with the oil. Even oil fields with no free gas originally present can produce large volumes of gas since considerable gas can be present in solution in the oil.
Industry:Energy
The annual rate at which a DSM measure is implemented, as a percentage of the measure's technical potential.
Industry:Energy
The plant surviving at the beginning of an age of interval and exposed to the risk of retirement during that interval.
Industry:Energy
Those pressures specified for testing purposes at which adjustment of burner ratings and primary adjustments are made.
Industry:Energy
A device, material, or appliance used or installed to improve energy efficiency.
